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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51167796953376,"sku":"9781590171875","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/3661\/7504\/files\/9781590171875.jpg?v=1769743044","url":"https:\/\/creativebysanchez.com\/products\/roumeli","provider":"Creative By Sanchez","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
