Some insight into Life in Mani Today – The Road to freedom... Not since the advent of British writer Patrick Leigh Fermor’s book, Mani - Travels in the Southern Peloponnesus, more than fifty years ago, has there been an historic update, written in English, concerning this land and its people, from a new and very different perspective. Miami-born, Greek-American urologist, Dr. Mickey Demos, exposes the Mani from a unique angle in his book Life in Mani Today – The Road to Freedom. This has been a project that the contributing editor, Panayiotis Kokkinias, has spent nearly two years preparing for publication. Kokkinias spent much of this past year in Mani working with Dr. Demos, who wanted to create an up-to-date version to the changes in history, which he discovered when he moved to Mani. His reasoning was based on the fact that his entire family origin began here centuries ago and, until he turned 69 years of age, he had never even visited Greece. Now, at 80, he was on a quest that encompassed an eleven year odyssey. Realizing the passion Kokkinias had for writing, based upon a number of book and periodicals that he had authored and which Demos had read, he asked Kokkinias to help him organize and complete his 600 pages of thoughts into a concise book format and get it published. “Demos was a natural,” Kokkinias said in an interview, relating to the Doctor’s ability to capture the stories he relates in Life in Mani Today. “So many people of Greek descent have had their roots in Mani, and the stories abound reflecting the traits and characteristics of these wild mountain people who all claim to have a direct connection to a man named Petros Mavromichalis, one of the greatest freedom fighters in Hellenic history. So many myths, superstitions, battles, wild stories, songs, poems, hearsay, as well as vampires, bats, vendettas, and the power of the evil eye are just the beginning along with the warning to those who so much as mention the word, ‘Mani’, to anyone outside of this region. Everybody in Greece knew about Mani and had something to say about the place. ‘You had better watch yourself. Those people in Mani are dangerous.’ “Life in Mani Today will give new insight into what has transpired over these past 50-plus years. It is not a dry historical chronology, but a lively look, with some comic relief, about life in the old country. You might be surprised at what has changed… and more surprised at what has stayed the same.” Here is an opportunity to learn more about a part of Greece that has remained independent of the rest of the mainland for many years. How these people have survived and succeeded in life, and have stayed free from a lot of the politics that currently threaten the financial stability of this great country, continues as a credit to their hard work, their intelligence, and their use of common sense.

"Loui Franke’s fun and inspirational writing may just make me a Francophile.” -Randy Diaz, food enthusiast, restaurant reviewer, and author of “I’m not a Francophile, but live in Paris” Loui Franke and her husband, Dr. Stanley Coira, did what many only dream of, which is to set up a residence in another country. For several years, Dr. Franke wrote a blog of their experiences while living abroad. The concept for her book was thus born and now offers the reader a collection of short stories on living in Paris, places to visit, historical background, travel tips and photos. She calls them “snapshots” of their life in France. Although the primary focus is Paris, other destinations are described that are easy to visit by car, train or plane from the City of Lights. It is the author’s goal to motivate those who have not visited France to go, as well as to provide new places to explore for repeat visitors. The following is the translation from french of a review by a retired editor at Groupe Flammarion, Dr. Andrée Piekarski: Those who believe you know Paris, Istanbul and Berlin because you live there or you have already visited, don’t fool yourself, open quickly Loui Franke’s book, “Parisian Postcards”, leaf through it, read it; her beautiful, original unique photos, her moving and sentimental text, you are going to discover or rediscover villages and other places in Europe, these regions, their streets, their avenues, their monuments, their parks, their gardens, their walks and their people. Don’t miss this fascinating voyage presented by Loui Franke; an American born in Connecticut, she lives in Florida and in Paris, the town that she has adopted; in this collection, thanks to her photographic talent and her editorial qualities, she shares with us her love of Europe.

After completing 1400 kilometres of walking two different Caminos in Spain and in Portugal, I knew I had to share my love of these journeys through a book. I have never written a book before this one. I have attempted many, but the inspiration was never as intense as now. There are so many books about the Camino that one would wonder why another one is necessary. All the books I could get my hands on regarding this subject were written about the author’s personal journey or were written strictly as travel guides. I was inspired to write something different, so I wrote a preparation guide. I want to whet your appetite for your Camino journey. In addition, I want to help you cover all the details, large and small, in your planning so that your Camino will be safe and successful. Everything that is written here, in this guide for planning your trip, comes from lessons I have learned in preparing for and completing my Caminos. I have supplied you with information you need before you go and information that is good to have when you are there. Much of the information in this book is similar to what you will find on various web sites that are dedicated to El Camino. The advantage of using this book to plan is that all the information you need is within these pages. In addition to the general information, I have gone one step further and supplied you with essential tips for packing, travelling, eating, finding your bed and much more that the web sites do not provide. Enjoy your preparations, and... Buen Camino!

Venice is a resplendent city of a thousand islands in the middle of a lagoon, which has an elegant and eventful history. Her geographical location and the political and commercial shrewdness of her former rulers, together with the spirit of her citizens once made her the mistress of the seas and master of a great empire. This journal is intended to provide helpful, descriptive and enjoyable routes to explore, as well as providing many interesting historical and architectural facts throughout its passage. As an artist the author has painted a journalistic picture of Venice by visiting the 'Serenissima' each month over the course of a year to enjoy the islands and understand the Venetians themselves, who have battled through centuries of evolution, toil and achievement. Throughout each interesting tour John has recorded many scenes in pen and ink water colour sketches, which he feels will bring the beauty and history of the Venetian islands to both the armchair reader as well as those who explore the Serenissima.
