Description

The Poetic Atlas of the Greek Mountains is a beautiful book in 21

The Poetic Atlas of the Greek Mountains records the author s travels in the Greek mountains. The book echoes a pioneering and original approach, at the slow pace of walking and hiking, embodied through the proposed itineraries.

It is about retracing a sensitive and spontaneous approach to the landscape which activates first impressions and the joy of discovery, by giving expression to several voices and several media (photography, writing, art, cartography). This polyphony is reflected in the choice of speakers.

Through the sensitive geography of the Greek mountains, the author invites us to an experience that immerses us in the landscape, re-creating the process of appropriation via geo-artistic works, personalized maps and perceptual maps.

This work is an important contribution to the French bibliography and relating to Greece, because it completes the meager corpus concerning continental Greece and the mountains, but also introduces a new look and a new approach to the Greek landscape.
