Description
Photographs by Dimitri. This book distills the authors experience, as a young traveler and later an anthropologist, of a way of life which, although seen here in a Greek context, was in its essentials once common throughout the world. Simple archetypal houses, terraced fields and plunging forests, the love of land and family, and a continual drama of jokes and quarrels formed the texture of Greek village life for centuries until the changes of the last decades.
