Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Rupert Brooke and Skyros In the northern part of the Ægean Sea, almost mid-way between the islands of Euboea and Chios, lie the twin peaks of Skyros. The storms of history have broken round and near the island, but only spent waves have reached its shores. A few legends, a few of the minor events of Mediterranean history and the records of a few travellers are all that it has to show. And now England, who has never yet figured in its history, must claim a place in its soil and tradition, for in Skyros is the grave and memorial of Rupert Brooke. A wild and lawless island, inhabited even down to the days when Athens was at the height of its power by half-barbarous peoples, Skyros early became the home of the heroes of legend.
