520			_a"Part travelogue, part inspired evocation of the past, Mani carries the reader into what is one of the remotest, the wildest and the most isolated regions in Greece. Cut off from the rest of the country by the towering range of the Taygettus and hemmed in by the Aegean and Ionian seas, this rocky central prong of the Peloponnese is the southernmost point of Mediterranean Europe." "Here, Patrick Leigh Fermor travels amongst the Greeks of the mountains and explores their history and myths. He visits the regions where bad communications and remoteness had left their ancient relationship with the past, comparatively speaking, undisturbed. The digressions into myth and history together with marvellous descriptive writing and unexpected detail is what makes this book a classic."--BOOK JACKET
