Hardcover. Condition: Good. A. Costa (Photographer) (illustrator). 1st Edition. First Edition 1966 by two brilliant writers one is from the eccentric Sitwell family. While Norwich and Sitwell are responsible for the two parts of the book the history and the monasteries and villages their photographer companion Costa, has added thirty-two pages of photographs in full color and as many black and white. Mount Athos is a Republic of Monks. It has been a republic with its own government for over a thousand years. There are NO Women allowed! What they do have are the great orthodox monasteries; seventeen of which are Greek, one Russian, one Serbian and one Bulgarian set in the slopes of this very beautiful mountain on a penisula. The Russian Footprint has remained strong through Panteleimon; a Russian Orthodox monastery built on the southwest side of the peninsula of Mt. Athos in Greece. In one of my pics 5&6 you see the white & pink Panteleimon exterior and a rich gallery of pictures of the Romanov family inside. TODAY, Russia can freely exchange rubles for Euros in ATHOS. It is their secret bank in Europe! 191 pp. Seller Inventory # 12346251

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Edition. 191 printed pages. Map endpapers. Loosely inserted is a signed letter on headed notepaper from Norwich (1929-2018) to Jonathan Haw. 22.5 x 28.5 cm. Original green cloth. Spine slightly faded and stained. Musty smell. Complete with photographic dust jacket (edges slightly torn with small loss at the top edge on the back panel). Jonathan Haw was a rower at Keble College, Oxford, who established the New York branch of the legal firm Slaughter & May and who served as Master of the Armourer & Brasier's Company in 2008 and 2013. The 2002 letter gives details of bookshops that stocked second-hand copies of this book, and says that it never ran to a second edition, expressing gratification that people were still interested in reading it. It was Norwich's first published book, based on his second visit to Mount Athos with a Greek friend Costa, who took photos, and Sacheverell Sitwell's son Reresby, (who bought a rucksack stuffed with luxury food items from Fortnum & Mason, where he worked) who were both at school at Eton together. Reresby wrote about the itinerary of the trip and Norwich wrote a historical essay on Mount Athos- in the days when its Orthodox monastic complexes were virtually unvisited and devoid of external contact, on the secretive peninsular in northern Greece.
