The Towers of Trebizond

The Towers of Trebizond

by Rose MacAulay  •  Jan Morris (Introduction)

  • LITERATURE
  • 2012
  • PAPER
  • 277 PAGES

First published in 1956, this is the impossibly witty account of an eccentric party of Brits who set off for Turkey to establish a mission. Known for her sparkling humor, Macaulay has written a minor masterpiece that makes great fun of the church and eccentric Englishmen in exotic lands. It also includes much information on the region and its ancient history.  (TKY15, $16.00)
