Cipro, primavera 1972. Le tensioni stanno aumentando tra il sud greco e il nord turco. Entro due anni, il paese verrà diviso. È in questo momento distintivo della storia che lo scrittore di viaggi britannico Colin Thubron intraprende un viaggio di 600 miglia attraverso il paese. Muovendosi dai villaggi greci alle città turche, l'autore di Shadow of the Silk Road e Night of Fire offre uno sguardo profondo sulla gente di Cipro, dai monaci ortodossi alle feste di matrimonio alle famiglie contadine, sullo sfondo del paesaggio di una splendida isola del Mediterraneo alla vigilia del caos e della tragedia. Una straordinaria ricerca ricca di letteratura, classici e architettura, Journey Into Cyprus intreccia ingegnosamente la storia e la politica di Cipro e il suo passato mitico con il tumultuoso presente, dal maestro dei libri di viaggio e della scrittura, Colin Thubron. "Un affermato linguista e storico, la sua appassionata preoccupazione per l'antichità in tutti i suoi aspetti - mitologico, architettonico, concettuale - conferisce peso e calore a ogni capitolo" Financial Times
