Description & Specifications

The Colossus of Maroussi remains one of the most enchanting texts ever written about modern Greece. Enchanting because it describes a Greece captivating in its solitude, like a small piece of eternity that has reached the shallows of our own time. This Greece may no longer exist. Yet, reading "The Colossus," you feel that you carry it within the cells of your soul.

Henry Miller, who was then living in Paris, defying the ominous signs - as the messages of World War II loomed on the horizon - decided to come to Greece in 1939, having secured the hospitality of the English writer Lawrence Durrell, who was living in Corfu. Initially, he wandered aimlessly, moving from here to there. He would be impressed by his encounters with Katsimbalis, Seferis, Antoniou, Chatzikyriacos-Gikas, and Tsatsos, and because of them, he would extend his stay.

He would leave Greece, pressured by the American embassy, which wanted its citizens to leave the country due to the war that had now begun. His impressions from his journey would take the title "The Colossus of Maroussi" and constitute a unique stroll through Greek human geography.

The book also includes the notes that Henry Miller left for George Seferis before leaving Greece, titled "First Impressions of Greece," which had previously been published in a separate book.
