Harry Clarke (1889-1931) was undoubtedly Ireland's greatest
stained-glass artist. Internationally, his name is synonymous with
quality craftsmanship and imaginative genius. The use of rich
colours, the delicate depiction of beautiful elongated figures with
their fine-carved features and deep expressive eyes, is magical to
behold. During his short life Clarke created more than 160
stained-glass windows, which can be found in churches, cathedrals,
galleries, and private collections throughout the world. This book
documents, for the first time, the entire stained-glass collection
of Harry Clarke. Never before has every piece been brought together
in one volume. Strangest Genius presents Clarke's brilliance and
originality afresh to a twenty-first-century audience.
This guidebook presents four specially devised treks in the
mountains of Greece, showcasing its beautiful scenery, rich flora
and cultural interest. The Peloponnese Way crosses the Peloponnese
peninsula from Dhiakofto in the north to Pantazi beach in the
south, via Tripoli. Taking in alpine meadows, a dramatic gorge and
forest-clad slopes, the 220km route can be walked in around a
fortnight. The 460km Pindos Way is a south-north traverse of
Greece's mountain backbone, and can be walked in a month, or split
into sections of around a week. With remote terrain, navigational
challenge and fewer facilities on route, it is the toughest of the
four treks but offers a unique chance to experience both the
country's wilderness and traditional mountain life. A shorter 80km
Zagori trek can be enjoyed in its own right or incorporated into
the Pindos Way, and the final route explores Mt Olympus, home of
the ancient gods of Greek myth and the highest mountain in Greece.
With clear mapping alongside detailed route description for each
stage of the treks, as well as background information about the
region and a Greek-English glossary.
