Galt,George
Trailing Pythagoras
"George Galt recounts his personal experiences travelling through the Aegean Islands with his wife Fay. In addition to a host of incredible characters encountered along the way, Galt has to contend with the legend of the Greek philosopher Pythagoras and the ghost of his own ancestor John Galt, who explored the same terrain early in the 19th century.(it) is not only a delightful account of an enviable journey, but also a meditation on people and places and on time that transforms them.".200p, Author inscription on title page.

Kazan, Elia
Acts of Love
"A beautiful and strongly sexual young woman seeks security and certainty within her husband's Greek-American family but is soon on the move again, toward an inevitable final reckoning.The story of two people from different generations, and with two very different perspectives on life, whose destinies become entangled in a tragic and destructive way.Kosta is a conservative Greek immigrant in the United States for whom Greek traditions determine the right path of life for his family. With a steady hand the rather dogmatic man maneuvers the actions of his wife, his son, and his close relatives. He is strict, demanding, and frightening. Kosta also attempts to control the life of his only son, Tedi, until Tedi meets his new bride-to-be, Ethel. Unfortunately, the new bride is far from the obedient Greek wife of the old world. She is emancipated, passionate, impulsive, and strong.508p. Book

Silvester, Hans W.
Cats in Love
Perhaps the most acclaimed photographer of cats in the world, Hans Silvester returns to his beloved Greek isles...for this glorious new collection of deliciously sun-drenched photographs. Cats in Love reveals the full wealth and intensity of feline affection -- from the amorous prowl of a tomcat to the motherly tenderness of a tabby; from the playful nips of tussling kittens to friends caught curled up in a nap; from a pair of young acquaintances shyly rubbing noses to a couple of old friends grooming each other. Set against the idyllic white-washed villages of the Mediterranean, this is love in all its sweet diversity. Sure to delight fans of Silvester's previous work, Cats in Love will certainly charm softies of every stripe. 152p. of wonderful colour photographs. A delightful gift book for fans of felines! Still in original shrink wrap Book
