It is the name once given to northern Greece--stretching from the Bosporus to the Adriatic and from Macedonia to the Gulf of Corinth, a name that evokes a world where the present is inseparably bound up with the past. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eRoumeli\u003c\/i\u003e describes Patrick Leigh Fermor's wanderings in and around this mysterious and yet very real region. He takes us with him among Sarakatsan shepherds, to the monasteries of Meteora and the villages of Krakora, and on a mission to track down a pair of Byron's slippers at Missolonghi. As he does, he brings to light the inherent conflicts of the Greek inheritance--the tenuous links to the classical and Byzantine heritage, the legacy of Ottoman domination--along with an underlying, even older world, traces of which Leigh Fermor finds in the hills and mountains and along stretches of barely explored coast. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eRoumeli\u003c\/i\u003e is a companion volume to Patrick Leigh Fermor's famous\u003ci\u003e Mani: Travels in the Southern Peloponnese\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York Review of Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/06\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781590171875\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.94h x 5.04w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2006 pg. 122\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/17\/2008 pg. 29\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Patrick Leigh Fermor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36660812185756,"sku":"9781590171875","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_78fe365e-b817-4633-9829-8e734285c3d4.jpg?v=1603897597","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/roumeli-travels-in-northern-greece-9781590171875","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
