In just over a year he had trekked through nine countries and taught himself three languages, and his enthusiasm and curiosity for every kind of experience made him equally happy in caves or country houses, among shepherds or countesses. At the outbreak of war he left his lover, Princess Balasha Cantacuzene, in Romania and returned to England to enlist. Commissioned into the Intelligence Corps, he became one of the handful of Allied officers supporting the Cretan resistance to the German occupation. In 1944 he commanded the Anglo-Cretan team that abducted General Heinrich Kreipe and spirited him away to Egypt. A journey to the Caribbean, stays in monasteries, and explorations all over Greece provided the subjects for his first books. It was not until he and his wife had moved to southern Greece that he returned to his earliest walk. In these books, which took many years to write, he created a vision of a prewar Europe, which in its beauty and abundance has never been equaled. Artemis Cooper has drawn on years of interviews and conversations with Leigh Fermor and his closest friends, and has had complete access to his archive. Her beautifully crafted biography portrays a man of extraordinary gifts--no one wore their learning so playfully nor inspired such passionate friendship"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000694682 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000694682 60010 $$aFermor, Patrick Leigh. 000694682 60010 $$aFermor, Patrick Leigh$$xTravel$$zDanube River Valley. 000694682 650_0 $$aTravel writers$$zGreat Britain$$vBiography. 000694682 650_0 $$aSoldiers$$zGreat Britain$$vBiography. 000694682 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aCooper, Artemis, 1953-$$tPatrick Leigh Fermor.$$dNew York : New York Review Books, 2013$$z9781590176740$$w(DLC) 2013020807$$w(OCoLC)847763495 000694682 852__ $$bacq 000694682 85280 $$bebk$$hEBSCOhost 000694682 85640 $$3EBSCOhost$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=730135$$zOnline Acces 000694682 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:694682$$pGLOBAL_SET 000694682 980__ $$aEBOOK 000694682 980__ $$aBIB 000694682 982__ $$aEbook 000694682 983__ $$aOnline 000694682 994__ $$a92$$bISE
