A young man is taken from Greece to work in Germany as a slave laborer during World War II. He experiences first-hand tribulations and humiliating treatment in war-time Germany, the defeat of Hitler's regime, life as a displaced person in various refugee camps, and eventual immigration to the United States. The characters portrayed in this historical novel include Jews whose families perished in Nazi concentration camps, a Russian aristocrat working as a chef in Switzerland, an Italian black market businessman working as a waiter, Germans who are decent and generous, American soldiers in occupied Germany and others. A range of human feelings--fear, humiliation, hunger, hatred, love, sex, compassion, and most of all hope--are dealt with in this novel.

WHERE THE BLUE TRULY BEGINS This fascinating illustrated memoir captures the beauty and history of Greece in the thirty years between 1960-1989. With over 75 black and white photographs by Simon Stembridge, it is written through the eyes of two young people who began travelling to Greece in the early 1960s and then with children made mainland Greece and many of its islands their main holiday destination. Book One WHERE THE BLUE TRULY BEGINS goes up into the blue sky at the dawn of a charter flight holiday industry, across the not always blue sea on very basic Greek ferries, travelling the blue-green mountains and smelling the thyme permeating their Greek meanderings. Out of The Blue could easily have been an alternative title, given that the Covid 19 Pandemic occurred while the author worked on this account. Suzi writes movingly, interspersing her feelings and emotions through the pages with the realisation that their planned 2020 summer visit to Greece is unlikely to go ahead. Those, especially like Suzi and her family, who found their 2020 plans dashed will delight in the spiritual reflections of the authors who deliberately made their exploration of Greece, one of venturing to the remote and unusual places. Their wonder in each new place, mainland region or island is captured in these pages. Their quest through a lifetime in travel to Greece made it a challenge to find different and stunning locations each year. When these places become harder to unearth would the family eventually put down roots in Greece? By the nineteen-eighties these adventures and journeys had indeed become 'employment' when first Suzi was invited to work for a small independent tour operator, then another, which progressively led first to Suzi founding her own travel agency GRECO-FILE Ltd and inevitably her own tour operation FILOXENIA Ltd. This work brought the family into contact with many interesting people including many eminent members of the travel press as well as writers, artists and Greek aristocrats. As the business grows Simon, retiring as a production editor on the Yorkshire Post, and Oliver, leaving college will join her ... more on that story later!

A new translation of Homer's work of "one-eyed man-eating giants; irresistibly seductive sirens; shipwrecks and narrow escapes; princesses and monsters; ghosts sipping blood at the Underworld's portal, desperate for a chance to speak to the living; and the final destruction of all of Odysseus's enemies in the banquet hall"--Dust jacket flap.

The Triumph of Odysseus is part of the highly successful Reading Greek series. It presents the complete Greek text of Books 21 and 22 of Homer's Odyssey, faced with a running vocabulary with notes, and followed at the back of the book by a learning vocabulary. It is modelled on the two existing readers: A World of Heroes (1979) and The Intellectual Revolution (1980), and like them is fully illustrated. It makes an excellent introduction to Homer for those new to him, and provides accessible and confidence-building follow-up reading for others. The book can be used by anyone who has completed Reading Greek or is at an intermediate or advanced stage of ancient Greek, and it is ideal for use with students in the upper forms of schools, at university and in summer schools and weekend courses.

Harry Mount's Odyssey: Ancient Greece in the Footsteps of Odysseus is a journey round Greece inspired by the heroes, locations and tales of the Odyssey and tracing ancient Greek civilization at its height. Architecture, art, sculpture, economics, mathematics, science, metaphysics, comedy, tragedy, drama and epic poetry were all devised and perfected by the Greeks. Of the four classical orders of architecture, three were invented by the Greeks and the fourth, the only one the Romans could come up with, was a combination of two of the former.The powerful ghost of ancient Greece still lingers on in the popular mind as the first great civilization and one of the most influential in the creation of modern thought. It is the starting block of Western European civilization. In his new Odyssey, eminent writer Harry Mount tells the story of ancient Greece while on the trail of its greatest son, Odysseus. In the charming, anecdotal style of his bestselling Amo, Amas, Amat and All That, Harry visits Troy, still looming over the plain where Achilles dragged Hector's body through the dust, and attempts to swim the Hellespont, in emulation of Lord Byron and the doomed Greek lover, Leander. Whether in Odysseus's kingdom on Ithaca, Homer's birthplace of Chios or the Minotaur's lair on Crete, Mount brings the Odyssey - and ancient Greece - back to life.

Homer's epic chronicle of the Greek hero Odysseus' journey home from the Trojan War has inspired writers from Virgil to James Joyce. Odysseus survives storm and shipwreck, the cave of the Cyclops and the isle of Circe, the lure of the Sirens' song and a trip to the Underworld, only to find his most difficult challenge at home, where treacherous suitors seek to steal his kingdom and his loyal wife, Penelope. Favorite of the gods, Odysseus embodies the energy, intellect, and resourcefulness that were of highest value to the ancients and that remain ideals in out time. In this new verse translation, Allen Mandelbaum--celebrated poet and translator of Virgil's Aeneid and Dante's Divine Comedy --realizes the power and beauty of the original Greek verse and demonstrates why the epic tale of The Odyssey has captured the human imagination for nearly three thousand years.
