Stanley Casson, GREECE AND BRITAIN, Collins, London, 1945. 112 s, 11 renkli levha, 64 resim, 22 x 14 cm, şömizli bez cildinde.
The author gives a fascinating description of the earliest voyages of Greek sailors to
England in search of tin; an almost unknown account of England in the sixteenth century
by a Greek traveller side by side with an Elizabethan Englishman’s account of a journey
to Turkey which took him to the Greek Islands and mainland. He shows how with the
seventeenth century came a revival of interest in classical Greece which reached its height
in the eighteenth century. In the nineteenth century came the Greek War of Independence
in which britain took a small but enthusiastic part and from which she derived much
inspiration. In the war of 1914-1918 Greece and Britain were allies - the author himself
served in Salonika for two years.
