Patrick Leigh Fermor's Mani compellingly revealed a hidden world of
Southern Greece and its past. Its northern counterpart takes the
reader among Sarakatsan shepherds, the monasteries of Meteora and
the villages of Krakora, among itinerant pedlars and beggars, and
even tracks down at Missolonghi a pair of Byron's slippers. Roumeli
is not on modern maps: it is the ancient name for the lands from
the Bosphorus to the Adriatic and from Macedonia to the Gulf of
Corinth. But it is the perfect, evocative name for the Greece that
Fermor captures in writing that carries throughout his trademark
vividness of description. But what is more, the pictures of people,
traditions and landscapes that he creates on the page are imbued
with an intimate understanding of Greece and its history.
