I felt the war coming on - it was getting closer and closer every day. For a little while yet there would be peace and men might still behave like human beings.
A memoir of a Greek holiday the great American novelist Henry Miller took immediately before World War 2. Miller's beautiful and passionate prose perfectly captures the splendour and magic of the country, concentrating not only on the landscape but also the people. His classic narrative is peppered with fabulous portraits of poets and artists, including friend Lawrence Durrell.

Henry Miller, one of America’s most controversial authors, was born in New York in 1891, and left for Europe in 1930. His autobiographical novel Tropic of Cancer, a frank account of an artist’s adventures in Paris, was published with the support of his lover Anais Nin but banned for decades in Britain and the USA. His other works include Tropic of Capricorn. After returning to America, he was gradually accepted as a major figure in the fight for literary and personal freedom.
