О Греции написано множество книг. Some are dedicated to its ancient stories, others inspire a journey no worse than advertising brochures. What books will be the best replacement for dry guidebooks and what to read about Greece before trips?
“Greek Zorba”, Nikos Kazantzakis
Any self-respecting phallellin should have in the home library novel “Greek Zorb”. After all, who else, if not the Greek himself, is so bright talk about the manners of society and the ability to enjoy life in spite of everything, but at the same time it will spice it with a realistic description of an amazing Greek nature.
“My family and other animals”, Gerald Darrell
Darrell is reading this story before a trip to Corfu, and others already falling in love with this island. The author is equally good at serious descriptions of the nature of Corfu and the funny things that happened to by him.
“Reflection on the Venus of the Sea”, Lawrence Darrell
But Gerald Darrell’s older brother introduces us to Rhodes and is perhaps the best “guide” on the island.
“The Island”, Victoria Hislop
With this book in their hands, foreigners have been coming to Eloundu. And read the novel of the British writer in advance – to better understand the history of the island.
“Summer on Patmos”, Tom Stone
This book is a godsend for those who want to plunge into the atmosphere of Greece, and not only the island of Patmos. The author shares interesting observations and even traditional recipes.
