In over 2000 pages, more than 200 castles of our homeland, both mainland and island, are resurrected from oblivion. An unparalleled epic of castles, a monumental and timeless work that brings to life an entire world coming from the past and living and breathing in the present. Legend and reality together.
It is an original and attractive journey of experiential and sensitive exploration-autopsy, offering emotions and self-awareness.
The unique portrait of each castle is vividly and energetically presented, keeping the reader's interest unwavering, as the author does not limit himself to descriptions and references to historical and folklore elements, but also extends his interests to the surrounding human reality. Such fascinating journeys bring us closer to grasping the meaning of Yevtushenko's verses: "Only ruins make us more human - cleaning eternity is like cleaning yourself..."
All five elegantly bound volumes are adorned with numerous drawings made by the author on-site during his castle explorations, as well as with old rare engravings.
This volume covers the following areas:
Rethymno, Geraki, Kyparissia, Akronafplia, Tinos, Sifnos, Folegandros, Sikinos, Moglena, Servia, White Tower, Serres, Lemnos, Kos, Nisyros, Kastellorizo, Fanari, Trikala, Zakynthos.
