Description

The people of Crete have a proud history as a fiercely independent people with a unique and complex culture. There are many books about Crete and its history, but very few about the lives and thinking of Cretan people as they live their daily lives and tell their own stories. 'Timeless People in a Changing Time' is a you-are-there walk through the streets, quays, and countryside as you meet everyday people whose lives are impacted by modernity and tourism wealth. Meet colourful characters, listen to their joys and worries, work alongside them at their jobs, dine in their cafes, listen to their histories. Laced with humour and wit, the scenes are described with literary grace and cultural accuracy. Crete and its people have never before been portrayed as vividly as in this memoir. Here is what its readers are saying: "This is not a book as much as literary cinema. The sharp details take you into a cultural landscape that lies somewhere between National Geographic and being there. I've never seen Crete so accurately portrayed." Yiorgos Vardakis, Xania, Crete / "Douglas Bullis's book is the best account of modern Crete I have come across. Crete is known mainly for Knossos, Theseus, and the Minotaur-the ancient Cretan people. Douglas Bullis has seized a golden opportunity to write about Crete's people living and working today. The Crete of the Minoan heroes is still alive in today's average weaver, shepherd, and cafe waiter." Elysoun Ross, Xania, Crete / "This is more than mere travelogue, more than sharp observation: Bullis all but lives the lives of Cretans, gets inside their crafts and conversations, deftly weaves in history and myth, and manages to be both contemporary and elegiac." Dan Wylie, poet, South Africa
