## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fabulous…made me fall in love with Greece…and Henry Miller
*by K***R on December 14, 2023*

I really knew very little about this book before I started it. I was looking for something to capture the essence and spirit of Greece as I plan a trip there for 2024. I got lucky, as this book was simply fabulous. I’ve read one other book by Miller, and knew he was talented but his use of language and imagery made me long to be in Greece…no, to move to Greece. They say this is his most autobiographical book, and I certainly hope so. It is poignant and lovely. Definitely worth reading.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Greece Before the War
*by D***N on May 29, 2010*

Henry Miller has long been considered one of the important early voices in the Beat movement, and among free thinkers who evolved into the 1960s reappraisal of social values worldwide. But this interesting tour of Greece in 1941, at the beginning of WWII, has rarely been read as a take on the landscape of 20th-century politics and Miller's own reaction to violence and a deterioration of human values as the world moved toward its encounter with fascism. The islands are marvelous; his friendships unique and open; and his sense of the world, his anti-Christian critiques, and his call for a new kind of spiritualism among humans, are refreshing reminders of what the world was about to discover for itself. But the War plays a role here too, and his almost desperate desire for a new freedom in the face of possible total destruction rings with authenticity and passion. You don't have to be traveling the islands or touring the Mediterranean to appreciate this book, although it remains true in its scope today if you are there experiencing the changes of the last sixty years.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I liked it as much as the Tropic of Cancer
*by L***Y on May 21, 2018*

I took this on a three week car and ferry tour of Greece and certain of the Greek Islands in 2018. I had last been to Greece in 1963. Miller was there in 1941. At first I thought that he was a bit of a blowhard as an artist but d...m me if he did bring it all around. He did see into the heart of the Greeks. I heard from by balcony of my hotel room in Platka a cock crow as dawn approached. I wanted to crow back. Epidaurus, Mycenae, Delphi, Crete are here too. I liked it as much as the Tropic of Cancer. Maybe more.
