An Aegean Odyssey
From USA TODAY Bestselling author Kathryn Gaucicomes a vivid memoir of her life and travels across the ancient and spectacular islands of Greece."I would be like Odysseus, wandering in search of adventure. How it would turn out, I had no idea: I would leave that to fate."After more than thirty years as a successful carpet and textile designer, Kathryn decided it was time for a change: she wanted to become an author, and the first place she turned for inspiration was Greece, where she had worked as a carpet designer in Athens in the 1970s. With no idea of what she would write about, she took two months off and returned in 2005 in search of a new adventure. All she knew was that she wanted to find the old Greece that was quickly disappearing through modernization and tourism. It was a great leap of faith to make this change in mid-life, yet not being one to miss an opportunity, she packed her bags and set out alone, hoping to discover the beauty and rich tapestry of characters that had inspired such great writers of the past - Nikos Kazantzakis, Lord Byron, Henry Miller, Patrick Leigh Fermor, Odysseus Elytis, and Homer himself.Follow along with Kathryn's journey as she explores the centuries-old mastic villages of Chios; the island of Lesbos, with its vast landscapes of olive groves and purveyors of the world's finest ouzo; Karpathos, with its stunning beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters; and finally, the majestic mountains and gorges of Crete, home of the God Zeus, the legend of the Minotaur, and that famous Cretan spirit of Zorba - the same spirit that fought against the Ottomans and the Germans in World War II.Staying in unspoiled villages and mountain retreats, she also discovers the mouth-watering regional food cooked in the age-old tradition. Along the way, she finds her own story - and discovers that a part of Greece will always be embedded in her psyche."I sip my ouzo, cloudy with ice and accompanied by a small plate of mezedes, at a table along a sidewalk filled with pink oleander.""Somehow, I feel different. I can sense a peacefulness I don't think I've had for years. I have begun to let go and really relax, and I wasn't even aware it was happening.""Surrounded by nature and inspired by the courage of the Greeks with their turbulent past; sometimes glorious, sometimes bloody, I too have learnt to live with the rhythm of life."

Cypria
SHORTLISTED FOR THE ANGLO-HELLENIC LEAGUE RUNCIMAN AWARD 2025 "A brilliant exploration of Cyprus's long history of cultural resilience. Superbly composed." -- Guardian One of National Geographic's Summer Reads 2024Think of a place where you can stand at the intersection of Christian and Arab cultures, at the crossroads of the British, Ottoman, Byzantine, Roman and Egyptian empires; a place marked by the struggle between fascism and communism and where the capital city is divided in half as a result of bloody conflict; where the ancient olive trees of Homer's time exist alongside the undersea cables which link up the world's internet. In Cypria, named after a lost Cypriot epic which was the prequel to The Odyssey, British Cypriot writer Alex Christofi writes a deeply personal, lyrical history of the island of Cyprus, from the era of goddesses and mythical beasts to the present day. This sprawling, evocative and poetic book begins with the legend of the cyclops and the storytelling at the heart of the Mediterranean culture. Christofi travels to salt lakes, crusader castles, mosques and the eerie town deserted at the start of the 1974 war. He retells the particularly bloody history of Cyprus during the twentieth century and considers his own identity as traveler and returner, as Odysseus was. Written in sensitive, witty and beautifully rendered prose, with a novelist's flair and eye for detail, Cypria combines the political, cultural and geographical history of Cyprus with reflections on time, place and belonging.

Lost in Stockholm
Stockholm. Sweden has Europe's only capital city with an official "Board of Beauty." Elegance is a quality native to the North. But it's not just to be found in the city's layout, textured with parks, islands, and waterways. Almost 100 museums and two restaurants with three Michelin stars bear an armada of fine Nordic cuisiniers sailing in their wake, waiting to be discovered. Architecture and design have always starred in Sweden, and several globally admired fashion brands have recently added more assets to the city's charm.

An architect who has switched to installation art, a designer flirting with the music business, two brothers who run one of Scandinavia's most respected cultural institutions...

Lost in Amsterdam
Amsterdam. Paved into its streets is an artistic heritage centuries old. And though its liberal laws and relaxed environment have pulled in tourists in recent decades, the city offers much more than canals and coffee shops. The legacy of the Dutch Masters lives on, trans- formed, in a new generation of innovative artists and designers. The docks and wharfs of the Noord are examples of abandoned corners that have been reclaimed and reinvigorated. Even the architecture has been reinterpreted, with a modern spin on the classic canal house. Visitors today can travel to pop-up restaurants on abandoned islands or dine in 300-year-old green houses. Despite its rich history, Amsterdam is constantly evolving. But it's the people who shape the city's atmosphere. In Amsterdam we spoke to gifted personalities: the local denim king, an urban artist, a celebrated chef...

The Untold Voyage
"One of the best sailing writers on this planet." Keiran Flatt, Editor, Yachting Monthly.'There was, however, one voyage... and what happened on that voyage was so far beyond the compass of what I thought possible that I have never, until this moment, said or written a single word about it.'Solo sailor Roger D. Taylor has written many books about his voyages to the Arctic. Some years ago, he made a voyage about which, until now, he has remained silent. What happened on that voyage was so unexpected and so devastating that Taylor threw all his logbooks and records overboard while still in the Greenland Sea. It was a voyage he wanted to erase from his memory forever.Time has now healed the traumas of that fateful passage, and Taylor has decided that the moment has come to relate what happened. Using just his memory, he has reconstructed the story of that summer cruise to the Far North and the terrible events that blighted it. In telling this untold story, the author hopes to lay to rest the ghosts which have haunted him for so long.
