Title: Dinner with Persephone : Travels in Greece
Description: New York, Pantheon. 1996, 1st US Edition. (ISBN: 0679421343) Hardcover. Book, Patricia Storace, with immense tact and skill, reveals how the dreams of modern Greece are the woven product of classical culture, of Byzantine and Orthodox Christianity, Ottoman occupation and of modern nationalism. The dizzying paradoxes that result when an outsider tries to fathom this very old country - which is at the same time a relatively young and spiky Balkan nation - give this book its taut and careful lyrical quality. The author leads her readers by a form of writing which allows critical affection and unpredictable understanding.398p. New/New.
