The condition of Greece, ever since its establishment as a sovereign state in 1830, has been the subject of intense international debate, centring on its pivotal role in the Balkans. This has been aggravated by Greece’s economic collapse in 2010 and by the ongoing refugee crisis, by environmental disasters, terrorism and the Macedonian question. This book’s analysis and assessment of Greek social, cultural and political life is trenchant, up-front and passionate, based on the author’s belief that one cannot love Greece without also mourning the fault-lines in bureaucracy and the dynastic politics which have dominated it since its inception. This book features a selection of the author’s “Letters from Greece” (from The Irish Times) and his “Eye of the Xenos”, from the Greek newspaper Kathimerini, in its entirety, in both English and a Greek translation, including columns which Kathimerini refused to print due to the nature of their political commentary.

Ceccarelli offers a history of the development of letter writing in ancient Greece from the archaic to the early Hellenistic period. Highlighting the specificity of letter-writing, the volume looks at documentary letters and traces the role of embedded letters in the texts of the ancient historians, in drama, and in the speeches of the orators.

Six previously unpublished letters from the archives of the British Library, London, by the young scholar Christopher Wordsworth (1807-1885), nephew of William, detailing his travels around newly-independent Greece in 1832/3. With an introduction and notes by Charles Plouviez, these letters back to England (four to his father, Christopher, Master of Trinity College, Cambridge, one to Mrs Louisa Gurney Hoare, wife of the banker, and one to his cousin Dora at Rydal Mount, Cumbria) paint a series of vivid picture of life, travel, and social conditions in a free Greece; they are also important documents for researchers and those interested in Christopher Wordsworth's two celebrated monographs which resulted from this tour: Athens and Attica (1836) and Greece: Pictorial, Descriptive, & Historical (1839).

The Comma Queen returns with a buoyant book about language, love, and the wine-dark sea. In her New York Times bestseller Between You & Me, Mary Norris delighted readers with her irreverent tales of pencils and punctuation in The New Yorker’s celebrated copy department. In Greek to Me, she delivers another wise and funny paean to the art of self-expression, this time filtered through her greatest passion: all things Greek. Greek to Me is a charming account of Norris’s lifelong love affair with words and her solo adventures in the land of olive trees and ouzo. Along the way, Norris explains how the alphabet originated in Greece, makes the case for Athena as a feminist icon, goes searching for the fabled Baths of Aphrodite, and reveals the surprising ways Greek helped form English. Filled with Norris’s memorable encounters with Greek words, Greek gods, Greek wine—and more than a few Greek men—Greek to Me is the Comma Queen’s fresh take on Greece and the exotic yet strangely familiar language that so deeply influences our own.

Excerpt from Letters on Greece: Being a Sequel to Letters on Egypt, and Containing Travels Through Rhodes, Crete, and Other Islands of the Archipelago I am perfectly of your opinion: the country of Homer, of Socrates, and so many other great men whom their virtues or talents have immortalized, has a claim to the love and veneration of all ages. The traveller of sensibility, led by the enthusiasm inspired by those places, once the theatre of so many memorable events, will long continue to visit them. But, alas! instead of a free, learned, and warlike people, he will find pusillanimous and ignorant slaves; instead of flourishing cities, he will meet with nothing but heaps of ruins, and scattered and mutilated marbles, instead of the famous monuments of ancient genius. Yet if his researches be conducted by found sense, if he be exempt from prejudices, and correct in his descriptions, even this contrast will supply interesting objects and useful truths. You already have a glimpse, Madam, of one part of the scenes about to open to your view. The obscurity, indeed, in which they are enveloped, does not permit you to discern their effects.

In 1827 Samuel Carr leaves his home in Didsbury in Cheshire. This mild mannered young man is completely oblivious that his spontaneous decision to travel to Greece, fighting for its independence, will have a huge effect on his descendants. His travels take him to the scene of the Battle of Trafalgar near Cadiz and on to witness the Battle of Navarino in the Peloponnese; scenes he never imagined in his wildest dreams - and the dreams of this sensitive young man are wild. Nor will he realise that history will see this as the turning point when the Ottomans relinquished their hold on Greece and a decisive point in the decline of the Ottoman Empire. Travelling on a brig sailing down the Atlantic coast to the Iberia Peninsula his aim is to reach the Morea (the Peloponnese peninsula in Greece) to become a Philhellene to help the 'cause' of the Greeks in their War of Independence; following in the footsteps of Lord Byron, to whom he likes to think he is distantly related. Struggling with his sexuality he might be considered something of an anti-hero, forming strong bonds with the characterful men and women he meets on his odyssey. These early tourists journey through Portugal, Spain and the Mediterranean and through the wild mountainous and coastal paths of early nineteenth century Greece, with Samuel stumbling on ancient ruins such as Olympia and Vassae, caught up with the history and culture of Greece. But the effort required to reach the slightly more civilised city of Nafplio, the first capital of Greece, challenges them all, proving that plans and wishes may not run true in times of war and austerity. The GREEK LETTERS quartet is part of a series charting the fortunes and adventures of Rosalind, her ancestors, her partners and offspring and their family and friends, over two centuries, entitled "Jigsaw".The Author: Suzi Stembridge lives in Yorkshire with her family and was educated at Penrhos College, North Wales and at the Open University. She has worked in travel most of her earlier life and was the founder and Managing Director of Filoxenia Ltd, the Greek tour operator, until it was sold in 2004, as well as the travel agency Greco-file and has travelled extensively in Greece and the rest of Europe. For the last ten years she has devoted her time to creating these eight novels - which - should you wish - could be read as one long saga. That said all could be read independently and in any order.All the works in the series have a historical setting, together with a strong sense of place - and all the books have a Greek and UK North Country bias. This book was written mostly using secondary sources and research from the library (rather than the internet!) and a booklist is an appendage.
