Athos: Treasures And Men
Robert Byron, author of the celebrated 'Road to Oxiana' took a trip to Mount Athos with two Oxford friends at the age of twenty-two and wrote this classic account of its treasures and men.
One of the most remarkable figures of his generation, Robert Byron's life was cut tragically short when he was killed during the Second World War at the age of thirty-six. Throughout his life he was a lover of Byzantine civilisation and his reverence for antiquity glows from every page of this book.
