The new edition of The Feasts of Memory presents an exciting combination of a Mediterranean travelogue and the author's autobiography as a ship owner and writer. The author has added new material about his grandfather's successful navigation from the age of sail to steam and a portrait of his uncle Manuel Kulukundis, who was overshadowed in the original by his brother George. The Feasts of Memory brings alive a world of ancient traditions and colorful customs that touch the life of anyone wishing to discover Greece. Through a collection of family stories, it vividly captures the nostalgia and excitement that accompany one's search for origins as a key to one's identity and meaning in life. The tales are imbued with the sophistication and wit of a Greek expatriate, but at the same time they delve deep into the motivating passions of the Aegean islands. Some of them reveal skeletons in the closet, and some, in the words of The New Yorker magazine, are "as savage as Homer's." The Feasts of Memory is a book that charms all those who left their homeland behind, as well as those in search of new realms. TO BUY THE BOOK, PLEASE CLICK ON THE COVER.
