Arrange topographically, the selections lead the reader from the Ionian Islands to Sparta and Attica, on to Northern Greece and the Aegean--conjuring up the history and wildness, the heat and beauty that have lured writers from Virgil to Henry Miller. Paintings, etchings, and drawings of Greece from the last three centuries have been added to the text in this new expanded edition.
