Cut off  from the rest of the country by the towering range of the Taygetus and  hemmed in by the Aegean and Ionian seas, it is a land where the past is  still very much a part of its people’s daily lives.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Patrick Leigh Fermor, who has been described as “a cross  between Indiana Jones, James Bond, and Graham Greene,” bridges the  genres of adventure story, travel writing, and memoir to reveal an  ancient world living alongside the twentieth century.
