When 'Papissa Joanna' was first published in Athens in 1886 it created a sensation. The book was banned and its author excommunicated. It nevertheless brought him immediate fame and the work established itself securely in the history of modern Greek literature. Subsequently Durrell, created a masterpiece in its own right, a dazzling concoction presented with the deftest touch.
