WANDERING IN GREECE: Athens, Islands and Antiquities (Wanderland Writers presents)

“Geography is destiny,” it is often said, and so to follow the sinuous paths through Greece is to discover not just mountains, seas, islands, rocks and plains, but the civilization they inevitably gave rise to. Like travelers throughout the centuries, Linda Watanabe McFerrin and Joanna Biggar, accompanied by a peripatetic band of writers, return to Greece to discover its ancient truths as well as its modern ones—gods and demi-gods, nature and science, heroes and refugees, the fleeting and the eternal—and perhaps a map revealing pathways through our own precarious times.
