Henry Miller’s landmark travel book, now reissued in a new edition, is ready to be stuffed into any vagabond’s backpack.Like the ancient colossus that stood over the harbor of Rhodes, Henry Miller’s The Colossus of Maroussi stands as a seminal classic in travel literature. It has preceded the footsteps of prominent travel writers such as Pico Iyer and Rolf Potts. The book Miller would later cite as his favorite began with a young woman’s seductive description of Greece. Miller headed out with his friend Lawrence Durrell to explore the Grecian countryside: a flock of sheep nearly tramples the two as they lie naked on a beach; the Greek poet Katsmbalis, the “colossus” of Miller’s book, stirs every rooster within earshot of the Acropolis with his own loud crowing; cold hard-boiled eggs are warmed in a village’s single stove, and they stay in hotels that “have seen better days, but which have an aroma of the past.”

At this time of writing, The Mobi The Colossus of Maroussi (Second Edition) (New Directions Paperbook) has garnered 9 customer reviews with rating of 5 out of 5 stars.

Apart from the hideous forward by Mr. Self, Henry Miller's book is a giant among travel classics. I'm an American living in Greece for 20 years, and can attest to the book's deep understanding and love of Greece and its history between the two world wars. We can hardly fault Mr. Miller for Self's insufferable forward that reaches realms never achieved in the annals of publishing. The irony of a Brit--Miller skewers the British relentlessly throughout the book--commenting with such bravado and (no pun intended here) self aggrandizement, is an insult to the monument Mr. Miller carved from the rock of contemporary history. I'm shell-shocked from the tone deafness of the publisher for allowing Mr. Self to deface this masterpiece. Mr. Miller would have run in the other direction.....Still, Colossus should be required reading for all travelers to Greece.
