Barclay, Jennifer

Wild Abandon: A Journey to the Deserted Places of the Dodecanese' (Bradt Travel Guides (Travel Literature))

Mint condition. Bradt Travel Guides, 2020. First UK edition-first impression. Paperback in mint condition. Illustrated with b/w drawings, map. The book is new. 266pp. Book Description: 'There's something about abandoned places which moves me and captures the imagination. ' So says seasoned travel writer Jennifer Barclay as she walks with her dog and her backpack through the deserted spaces of the Dodecanese, islands that were once bustling but are now half forgotten and reclaimed by the wild due to a mix of misfortune and the lure of opportunity elsewhere. Join her on a journey through abandoned villages and farms, cave-houses and captains' mansions, the homes of displaced Muslim fishermen and poets, as she discovers beauty in the ruins, emptiness and silence, and inspiration in the stories of people's lives. A long-term resident of Greece, Jennifer Barclay spent more than four years researching Wild Abandon, visiting islands multiple times and talking to local people to hear their stories. She travels from the very west to the very east of the Dodecanese, from the very south almost to the very north, taking in some of the smallest and the biggest islands, and highlighting different stories along the way to show the complex history behind these havens of tranquillity. She discovers a villa intended for Benito Mussolini's retirement, an island that links a gramophone from St Petersburg and a portrait in the American National Gallery via a pack of cigarettes, and reflects on the days when an economy based on sponges and burnt rock supported thousands. Wild Abandon is an elegy in praise of abandoned places and a search for lost knowledge through the wildest and most deserted locations. New. ISBN: 9781784776961

City of Falling Angels, The

Fine condition. Sceptre, 2005. First Sceptre paperback edition-first printing(1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2). Large format paperback(small nick and crease on the edges of the cover) in fine condition. The book is new with a small ink mark on the outer edges of the pages, a couple of creases on the edges of the pages. 374pp including Glossary, people, organisations and companies, names of buildings and places. First edition. Product Description: Taking the fire that destroyed the Fenice theatre in 1996 as his starting point, John Berendt creates a unique and unforgettable portrait of Venice and its extraordinary inhabitants. Beneath the exquisite facade of the world's most beautiful historic city, scandal, corruption and venality are rampant, and John Berendt is a master at seeking them out. Ezra Pound and his mistress, Olga; poet Mario Stefani; the Rat Man of Treviso; or Mario Moro -- self-styled carabiniere, fireman, soldier or airman, depending on the day of the week. With his background in journalism, Berendt is perfectly poised to gain access to private and unapproachable people, and persuade them to talk frankly to him. The result is mischievous, witty, compelling - and destined to be the non-fiction succes d'estime of the year. Fine. ISBN: 9780340840610
