Crete. Its Past, Present and People. - HOPKINS, A.,
KORTE INHOUD
'Why this book hasn't been reprinted, is completely beyond me. OK, it would need to be updated - archaeological discoveries have been tremendous in the past couple of decades and the Cretan way of life has changed enormously since those days - but essentially, this is the essential starter's guide to the history of Crete. Adam Hopkins takes the reader through the historical periods, from proto-historic times to the Second World War, and follows this with a couple of chapters entitled; 'Town and Country' and 'Cretan People', which brings is up to date (or at least up to the date when the book was published), with the everyday life of the Cretan people. This is an absolutely beautifully written history, and remains one of my favourites.' (STELIOS JACKSON, Hellenic Bookservice, Jan.2005).
