Beaton Roderick & Ricks David
The Making of Modern Greece: Nationalism Romanticism and the Uses of the Past 1797-1896
London: Ashgate Publishing Group 2009 Every Greek and every friend of the country knows the date 1821 when the banner of revolution was raised against the empire of the Ottoman Turks and the story of Modern Greece is usually said to begin. Less well known but of even greater importance was the international recognition given to Greece as an independent state with full sovereign rights as early as 1830. This places Greece in the vanguard among the new nation-states of Europe whose emergence would gather momentum through to the early twentieth century a process whose repercussions continue to this day. Starting out from that perspective which has been all but ignored until now this book brings together the work of scholars from a variety of disciplines to explore the contribution of characteristically 19th.century European modes of thought to the making of Greece as a modern nation. Closely linked to nationalism is romanticism which exercised a formative role through imaginative literature as is demonstrated in several chapters on poetry and fiction. Under the broad heading uses of the past other chapters consider ways in which the legacies first of ancient Greece then later of Byzantium came to be mobilized in the construction of a durable national identity at once Greek and modern . The Making of Modern Greece aims to situate the Greek experience as never before within the broad context of current theoretical and historical thinking about nations and nationalism in the modern world. The book spans the period from 1797 when Rigas Velestinlis published a constitution for an imaginary Hellenic Republic at the cost of his life to the establishment of the modern Olympic Games in Athens in 1896 an occasion which sealed with international approval the hard-won self-image of Modern Greece as it had become established over the previous century.

Le Carre John Pseud. David John Moore Cornwell
A Small Town in Germany
London: Heinemann 1968 "Only the Foreign Office" a junior diplomat remarks "could have sent a bull to catch a matador." The bull is Alan Turner a rough-necked rough-mouthed lovable misfit from Foreign Office Security; the matador is Leo Harting a middle-aged Second Secretary from the British Embassy in Bonn "a sprite weightless as the dark slipping through the shadows as if they were a net". This is the man who after twenty years of apparently loyal service to the Crown has vanished taking with him official files hot enough to frustrate or indeed compromise the entire British position at the negotiating table at Brussels where a faltering British Government is making a desperate last attempt to save the national economy and get into the Common Market. In this atmosphere of approaching crisis Alan Turner therefore is despatched from London to find Harting. "Which do they want" he asks "The man or the files" Gradually it becomes clear that one is not enough without the other." Previous owner's book plate of ffep else fine. 1st UK Ed. Hard Cover.

Wolfert Paula
The Cooking of the Eastern Mediterranean : 215 HealthyVibrant and Inspired Recipes
New York: HarperCollins 1994 Comprehensive informed and fascinating survey of ingredients food traditions and recipes from all around the Eastern Mediterranean includes Greece & Turkey "The Cooking of the Eastern Mediterranean refers both Paula Wolfert's love of great food and the pioneering spirit that has inspired her to travel across the globe many times over in search of the world's best recipes. In all of her remarkable books she delves with tireless enthusiasm into her research and writing ensuring each recipe's authenticity and accessibility. In The Cooking of the Eastern Mediterranean she brings readers and cooks into the kitchens that produce the healthy home cooking that is the trademark of such lands as Macedonian Turkey Syria and the countries on the Black Sea. Wolfert's food dazzles the palate. Her book begins with recipes for sauces and dips including two walnut and pomegranate sauces; soups include Anatolian Sour Soup and Macedonian "Green Cream." Meat poultry and fish dishes include eleven varities of kibbeh Duck with Quinces and Skewered Swordfish. Her sumptuous recipes for vegetables and grains--stuffed eggplants pilafs and pomegranate-flavored vegetables to name a few--reflect the bounty and healthful eating patterns of the Eastern Mediterranean. Wolfert's Middle Eastern grain salads are healthy and rich with flavor. Paula travels into the kitchens of native cooks to ensure that her recipes are as genuine as they are delicious. She takes us into the home of a friend in the Republic of Georgia whose mother teaches Wolfert how to prepare Chicken Tabaka; to a mountain village in northern Greece where with a sister food writer she searches for fine cheese to complete a savory pie; and to a farm in Turkey where the country's best bread baker tells her secrets of baking unleavened flat griddle bread. These delicious authentic recipes focus on the healthy eating patterns for which the Eastern Mediterranean is increasingly being recognized. Wolfert's recipes are as delightful to read as they are to use. Armchair cooks and travelers will be moved by the descriptive geography and resonate personal stories Paula Wolfert relates along with her fabulous dishes. Wolfert's expertise is renowned among food lovers amateur and professional and her joy of discovering new ways to prepare food is infectious to her many devoted readers."429p. illus.index. 1st.US Edition.
