Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Get lost in northern Greece with one of the greatest travel writers of the 20th century as he travels to monasteries, among shepherds, and throughout the hills, mountains, and rugged coastline of this enchanted land. Roumeli is not to be found on present-day maps. It is the name once given to northern Greecestretching from the Bosporus to the Adriatic and from Macedonia to the Gulf of Corinth, a name that evokes a world where the present is inseparably bound up with the past. Roumeli describes Patrick Leigh Fermors wanderings in and around this mysterious and yet very real region. He takes us with him among Sarakatsan shepherds, to the monasteries of Meteora and the villages of Krakora, and on a mission to track down a pair of Byrons slippers at Missolonghi. As he does, he brings to light the inherent conflicts of the Greek inheritancethe tenuous links to the classical and Byzantine heritage, the legacy of Ottoman dominationalong with an underlying, even older world, traces of which Leigh Fermor finds in the hills and mountains and along stretches of barely explored coast.Roumeli is a companion volume to Patrick Leigh Fermors famous Mani: Travels in the Southern Peloponnese. A companion book to Fermor's "Mani, Roumeli" takes readers on a journey that uncovers the inherent conflict of the Greeks' inheritance: a tenuous scholastic link with the glories of the ancient world and the more recent but no less historic Byzantine heritage and legacy of Ottoman domination.
