Greece is a legendary destinaation, and anyone who has once fallen under its spell dreams of returning again and again. Here is the marvellous record of an enchanting land. Interest in Greece will be at an all time high as the Olympics returns to Greece in summer 2004. Brukoff's briliant colour images and Gage's evocative words delineate the heart of Greece. Included are the great classical ruins, Byzantine monasteries, colourful fishing villages, and the ubiquitous cats - the vivid details that each traveller takes home as a memory. Gage's insightful essays on the turbulent history of Greece, its myths and beliefs, life in the villages and the age old wisdom and spirit of the Greek people, are a passionate tribute to an extraordinary country. Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Greece: Land of Light Greece: Land of Light is a terrific book for an overview of what Greece looks like and what the country's history was like. The pictures and narrative are both excellent. Rating: - Absolutely beautiful This is a reminder why I loved this country when I traveled in 2006 and why I want to go back again. The photography was excellent. Captivating! Rating: - Outstanding pictures of this beautiful land! An excellent book of pictures of the people and country. Makes me want to return to this lovely land of Greece again.
