If in the library of your house you do not have the works of the ancient Greek
writers then you have a house with no light George Bernard Shaw There is
virtually nothing in the modern world which does not have its origins in
Greece, most notably language and literature. As Shelley once said, We are all
Greeks. This small, rugged, sea-girt country has the longest written history
in Europe. Her myths and legends, so deeply embedded in Western consciousness,
and her sublime landscapes, so infused with history, have been muse for
writers, artists and travellers for millennia. Travelling from Athens to the
scattered islands of the Ionian and Aegean seas, the words of literary titans
echo through the centuries: from Homer and Plato to Byron, Flaubert and Twain;
Henry Miller to John Fowles; the Durrells to Patrick Leigh Fermor and Cavafy,
Kazantzakis and Seferis. Their luminous portraits of Greece - poignant,
provocative, always entertaining - enrich our own experiences of the country
and shed light on a dramatic and often tragic past.
