The Greek traveller

A magnificent insight of pre-World War II Japan and China by the hands of the most represantive of Greek soul of all writers.

Invaluable book of insights from the great author

The book proved invaluable in researching my new novel set in China as a sequel to THE SHANGHAI MURDERS. It was glorious to hear Kazantzakis's words on places that I have seen and his insights, as is true in his great fiction, are devistating in their accuracy. A book that all travel writers should read. A great treat.
