Mediterranean Winter by Rd Kaplan
Mediterranean Winter is a lyrical account of Robert Kaplan's journey in the off season around the Mediterranean, retracing the footsteps of his youth. A beautifully written meditation on the golden age of travel and the pleasures of history, it takes us from Tunisia, once proud Carthage, rival to Rome, through Sicily, up the Dalmatian coast and into Greece. Mediterranean Winter is alive with the spirits of the past, from Hadrian and Homer to Hannibal and Ibn Khaldun, and closes with a fascinating pilgrimage to Patrick Leigh Fermor, whom Kaplan visits in his hideaway on the Aegean.
Robert D. Kaplan is widely regarded as one of America's top travel writers and is also a highly influential writer on foreign affairs. He is the author of Balkan Ghosts, a landmark international bestseller translated into a dozen languages, The Ends of the Earth, and Eastward to Tartary, among other bestselling books.
