Seller's Description:
John Gross wrote that it was not primarily for the "information it contains that his book deserves to be read (though he packs in a great deal), but for its sumptuous coloring, the acuteness of his responses, the loving precision with which he conjures up people and places" (The New York Times).
The glimpses of the old society, about to yield to the modern age and disappear, are the precious gift of Leigh Fermor.
Nabokov says the good reader has: imagination, memory, a dictionary, and artistic sense. With PLF, the dictionary is especially necessary.
