Captain Corelli's Island: Cephallonia

by Andy Harris, Terry Harris (Photographer)

Captain Corelli's Cephallonia is a book for all who are drawn to the islands of Greece. Recalling the hypnotic detail of Louis de Bernière's novel, Corelli's Mandolin, Andy Harris highlights the history and appeal of Cephallonia, the novel's setting, while Terry Harris' color-saturated photos display the sun-kissed terrain—from the mountains where the partisans hid to the ocean where fishermen still spend their days. The ambience of the island—sun, sea, light, food and drink, and festivals—as well as its people, are artfully captured in image and word. It is a fine companion for admirers of the novel as well as visitors to the Greek Isles.
