Description:‘There’s an infectious enthusiasm and self-deprecating authority to Fiennes’s insights and he’s a most agreeable companion.’ Guardian on Footnotes The Greek myths have held a place in the popular imagination for centuries. Yet while the stories may not have changed, their original setting has.

Do the Ancient Greeks, through their myths and history, have anything to say to us today? Fiennes hikes through stunning scenery in the footsteps of Lord Byron, finds the ‘most beautiful beach in Greece', samples ‘the best salad in the world’ (it’s a Greek one…), consults the Oracle, and immerses himself in the cities and remote villages of this stunning country, all the while looking for beauty and hope in a world that is increasingly fragile.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
