The Spirit of Mediterranean Places

The Spirit of Mediterranean Places

by Michel Butor

  • TRAVEL NARRATIVE
  • 1986
  • PAPER
  • 147 PAGES
  • FAVORITE
  • HARD TO FIND ELSEWHERE

In this remarkable short book, the celebrated French novelist chronicles his travels to Mallia in Crete, Delphi, Salonica, Ferrara and Mantua in Northern Italy, Cordova, Istanbul and Egypt, where Butor spent a year as a young man. It's an absorbing, wonderfully appreciative account of the region, a favorite of ours.  (MED03, $13.95)
