The story of an unspoiled island and an English family making a home by the Aegean Sea. In the early 1960s Emma Tennant's parents, on a cruise, spotted a magical bay and decided to build a house there. This book is the story of that house, Rovinia, set above the bay in Corfu where legend has it Ulysses was shipwrecked and found by Nausicaa, daughter of King Alcinous. It is also the story of the couple who have been at Rovinia since the feast in the grove that followed the roof-raising-Maria, a miraculous cook and the presiding spirit of the house, and her husband, Thodoros-and of the inhabitants of the local village, high on the hill above the bay. Tennant offers us the delights of quotidian adventures-salt water in the well, roads to nowhere, collapsing walls-all hilariously presented. That the house is still lived in and loved, with new generations coming to understand the delights of Corfu, is a tribute to the people and a special landscape which is distinctly Greek. Full of color and contrast, A House in Corfu shows the huge changes in island life since the time of the Tennant's arrival, and celebrates, equally, the joy of belonging to a timeless world: the world of vine, olive, and sea205p.

In -4°, pp. (14), 4 tavv., 483, b, cb., numerose illustrazioni nel testo e 1 tav. ripiegata ft che raduna tre illustrazioni da separare e inserire (a cura del legatore) nelle pagine di riferimento. Manca la carta del viaggio ripiegata. Mezza pelle e carta marmorizzata. Nel testo le incisioni sono di carattere botanico, storico, artistico, zoologico e topografico. Il libro di Wheler, per molti anni, rimase l’opera inglese di riferimento per i viaggi in Grecia, sebbene curiosamente non sia mai stato ristampato. The folding map is missing, for the rest a nice copy of this book that was for years the english reference guide for travellers to Greece.

ril. A ogni generazione spetta il compito di reinventare i classici. Ogni generazione deve assumersi la responsabilità di questa reinvenzione, cioè di attingere dal passato qualcosa che permetta di decifrare il presente, che consenta di cogliere, sotto la superficie del flusso inarrestabile degli eventi e delle informazioni, ciò che ci riguarda direttamente, ci chiama in causa. Per farlo è necessario sottrarsi al brusio assordante della modernità e prestare ascolto a quanto hanno ancora da dirci gli antichi, i Greci in particolare. Perché la tragedia greca, a duemilacinquecento anni di distanza, continua a parlarci con forza, ponendoci di fronte questioni ineludibili: dà voce al dolore e alla sofferenza, racconta i conflitti che lacerano le comunità e squassano i rapporti familiari, ha molto da dirci riguardo alle nostre origini, mette a nudo la precarietà della nostra esistenza. E soprattutto descrive la zona grigia in cui si dispiega l'agire degli uomini, costretti a vivere in un mondo dominato dall'ambiguità e dall'incertezza, dove la ragione spesso si rivela una guida insufficiente a dissolvere l'opacità che li avvolge e le parole non sono altro che un vuoto gioco di prestigio che occulta la verità. Una «terra di mezzo» sospesa tra libertà e necessità, fra autonomia e dipendenza, dove il passato sembra condizionare ogni decisione e il futuro assume le sembianze del fato, cioè di una realtà che pare al di fuori della nostra portata ma che tuttavia ha bisogno di noi per potersi realizzare. La tragedia, quindi, ci rivolge in maniera pressante una domanda cruciale: che cosa dobbiamo fare? Di fronte ai drammi del nostro presente - le guerre, le ingiustizie, la violenza, la povertà - come dobbiamo agire? Qual è il nostro grado di coinvolgimento? Possiamo davvero considerarci non responsabili? Fino a dove può spingersi la nostra inazione o la nostra indifferenza? "A lezione dagli antichi" ci invita a trovare una risposta a questi interrogativi, una risposta che è essenzialmente «politica», perché attiene al nostro essere cittadini, parte attiva di una comunità che di fronte ai drammi degli altri non distoglie lo sguardo ma li riconosce come propri. Non è un caso, infatti, se la tragedia è nata nell'Atene democratica del V secolo a.C., se in essa «la città si fa teatro» e si mette in scena. Se vogliamo capire chi siamo, se vogliamo scoprire quale ruolo possiamo svolgere nel mondo, allora dobbiamo tornare al palcoscenico della vita che i tragici greci hanno allestito per noi.
