![]() ⭐I took this on a three week car and ferry tour of Greece and certain of the Greek Islands in 2018. ![]() Miller called it his best book and I can see why. His description of the Greeks he meets are wonderfully vivid and the views he expressed are uniquely Miller’s own. Some may find it off putting but I found it interesting in terms of style. He includes a section of Surrealist writing “riffing” on America jazz greats of the period. It is set against the background of ancient Greece. Miller develops a theory about the history of humans and his own unique philosophy about where industrial civilization led humanity astray. Set in Greece where Miller takes a vacation in 1939/40 it is a travel book and much more. ![]() I had read Henry Miller’s Tropic of Cancer a number of years ago and enjoyed it, As my husband and I were flying to Paris I thought it would make a great travel read and was not disappointed. ⭐I first saw mention of The Colossus of Maroussi in a New York Times Sunday travel piece on Crete. Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website: ![]()
