Description
Cyprus, spring 1972, was a time of great tension between the Greek South and the Turkish North. As the country teetered on the brink of division, British travel writer Colin Thubron embarked on a 600 mile trek across the island. In Journey Into Cyprus, Thubron weaves a profound and insightful look at the people of Cyprus, from Orthodox monks to peasant families, set against the stunning backdrop of a Mediterranean island on the eve of chaos and tragedy.
This remarkable quest intertwines the history and politics of Cyprus with its mythical past, creating a rich and engaging narrative that is both a testament to the author's passion for antiquity and a powerful exploration of the human experience. With his accomplished linguist and historian's eye, Thubron sheds light on the complexities of a nation on the cusp of change.
