Description
My Cyprus: A Memoir is a poetic and sensory guide to the island's rich history and cultures. Joachim Sartorius weaves together the stories of the Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Venetians, Genoese, Ottomans, and British who have all left their mark on the island.
With a deep understanding of the island's complexities, Sartorius explores its monuments, including the Roman and Byzantine ruins of Salamis, the Abbey of Bellapais, and the magnificent cathedrals of Nicosia and Famagusta. He also delves into the island's division after the Turkish invasion of 1974 and the challenges that followed.
This memoir is a unique blend of history, culture, and personal experience, written by someone who has lived on the island for three years and has gained a deep understanding of its people and traditions. With the help of Greek and Turkish Cypriot friends, Sartorius brings to life the vibrant colors and lights of the Levant area of the Middle East.
