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.

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.
