Books for Blue Voyages
| The perfect companion to any visit to this part of Turkey, this novel by Louis De Bernieres entwines the touching stories of Greek and Turkish villagers living together in Southwestern Turkey with a fascinating account of the clash of empires that resounds into their lives, changing them tragically forever. The impact of distant wars and international treaties had an enormous impact on this part of Turkey in the 1920s, with thousands of families exiled from their homes and thousands of towns and villages destroyed or abandoned. De Bernieres skillfully combines the historical narrative with a sweet and insightful picture of life and love in a village in early 20th century Mugla. Informative and moving - and highly recommended. | |
| In 1960, the Freely family left Princeton, New Jersey for the ancient city of Istanbul in Turkey. John Freely has spent all but 14 of the last 48 years living in Turkey and his insights into its history and landscapes reflect his fondness of this country and his great knowledge of, and interest in, his subject. In holidays from teaching at Robert College in Istanbul, Freely and his family (including daughter Maureen, famous for her translations of Orhan Pamuk's novels) traversed Turkey by post-boat, caique and ancient Opel; Freely breathes life into the ancient sites they visited all along Turkey's western shores, from Troy to Antioch, including our very own Didyma. |
