Maggiori informazioni sul libro
THE LYCIAN SHORE is an account of a single journey in a sailing yacht along the Asia Minor coast of Turkey in the early 1950s. The author and her companions followed the trail of Greek and Persian traders, the men who prepared the scene for Alexander the Great. Just as the ancient voyagers did, they landed as the tides and winds allowed. It was no ordinary journey and Freya Stark is no ordinary guide. The exciting, imaginative quality of her writing and her grasp of antiquity bring to life an ancient civilization with brilliance and intensity. "Few writers have the capacity to do with words what Faberge could do with gems--to fashion them, without violating their quality. It is this extraordinary talent which sets Freya Stark apart from her fellow craftsman in the construction of books on travel." (The Daily Telegraph)
