The author observes: "All of Greece is absorbing and rewarding. There is hardly a rock or stream without a battle or myth or miracle or a peasant anecdote or a superstition; and talk and incident, nearly all of it odd or memorable, thicken round the traveller's path at every step." In 'Mani', one of the "two best travel books of the century", Patrick Leigh Fermor fully bears this out. His glorious fusion of scholarship, history and imagination is a joy to read.

Recensione:

with a heady mix of scholarship, history and imagination and a magical turn of phrase from Paddy Fermor (Manchester Evening News)
A natural hero (Manchester Evening News)
Not to be missed, Yammas! (Manchester Evening News)
Mani is an extraordinary book of adventure and encounter, fantasy and learning, observation and experience ... it is a wonderfully rich book, richer for the warmth of the Philhellenism which Leigh Fermor betrays throughout. (Sunday Times)
He supercharges his narrative with a combination of tenderness and high spirits appropriate to his past achievements as a guerrilla leader in Crete. (Daily Telegraph)
