[ SOLD OUT ] GAGE, N., Hellas. A Portrait of Greece. Harvill, London, 1987. 247p. ills.(B&W photographs). Bound wrps. Small note, date and signature on free endpaper. Greece is a country that always surpasses every visitor's expectations. No one could be a better guide than Nicholas Gage, born in the remote village of Lia and the author of 'Eleni', the extraordinary story of how he unravelled the tragedy of his mother's death. The result is a delightful journey through the history, culture and landscape of Greece that will add immeasurably to the pleasure of a visit to this most romantic and most contradictory of countries. But this portrait of a nation is far more than a conventional travelogue. It is also a personal and moving account of what Greece and its political history - the Turkish occupation, the scars of World War II, the rule of the Junta - mean to one of its sons, and to the Greek people.
