Description:
Athens: Ellenika Grammata, 2000 Book. New Book from Greece. French Wraps. 1st Greek Edition. A Russian nationalist paramilitary organization, made up of former KGB agents, organizes a strange "operation" on Mount Athos, with the aim of stealing valuable relics and transporting them to Russia... The subject of the book touches on important historical events, such as Christianity of the Russians and their relationship with Byzantium, Russia after the Fall, its policy of "descent" in the Balkans and the Mediterranean, the Russian monks and plans to Russify Mount Athos... Despite the fact that the novel has a historical background, the Bulatovich operation and the theft of the religious relics by Athos, are completely fictional, the author claims, although at the end of the novel he records a similar event in the fall of 1992. 197p. bibliographt .

Description:
London: John Murray, 2013 Book. Illus. by Edited Colin Thubron & Artemis Cooper. Fine. Hardcover. 3rd Printing. In the winter of 1933 eighteen-year-old Patrick Leigh Fermor set out to walk across Europe, starting in Holland and ending in Constantinople, a trip that took him the better part of a year. Decades later, when he was well over fifty, Leigh Fermor told the story of that life-changing journey in A Time of Gifts and Between the Woods and the Water, two works now celebrated as among the most vivid, absorbing, delightful, and beautifully-written travel books of all time.The Broken Road is the long and avidly awaited account of the final leg of his youthful adventure that Leigh Fermor promised but was unable to finish before his death in 2011. Assembled from Leigh Fermor's manuscripts by his prize-winning biographer Artemis Cooper and the travel writer Colin Thubron, this is perhaps the most personal of all Leigh Fermor's books, catching up with young Paddy in the fall of 1934 and…

London: John Murray, 2014 Book. Illus. by Edited Colin Thubron & Artemis Cooper. Fine. Trade Paperback. First Pbk.Ed... A Time of Gifts and Between the Woods and the Water were the first two volumes in a projected trilogy that would describe the walk that Patrick Leigh Fermor undertook at the age of eighteen from the Hook of Holland to Constantinople. 'When are you going to finish Vol. III ' was the cry from his fans; but although he wished he could, the words refused to come. The curious thing was that he had not only written an early draft of the last part of the walk, but that it predated the other two. It remains unfinished but The Broken Road - edited and introduced by Colin Thubron and Artemis Cooper - completes an extraordinary journey.362p..

Description:
New York: St Martins Press, 2000 Book. Fine. Hardcover. 1st.US Ed... Victoria Clark travelled across most of Eastern Europe to write Why Angels Fall. Having worked as a journalist in Romania, the former Yugoslavia and Russia for six years, she was fascinated by the Eastern Orthodox churches and keen to unravel their history and beliefs. To do so she journeyed from Mount Athos, to Serbia, Macedonia, Greece, Romania, Russia, Cyprus and finally Istanbul, interviewing clergy and other believers. We're treated to a series of vivid cameos, a few of whose subjects glow almost visibly with holiness, a few terrify and many show qualities rare and needed in the West. As Clark puts it, after the ancient split between eastern and western Christianity, "each side lost something it could not happily do without . at the risk of over-simplifying for the sake of clarity, western Christendom can be said to have lost its heart, eastern Christendom its mind." Her keenness to explain Orthodoxy to westerners…
