Críticas
"Leigh Fermor exults in the otherness of the far-flung place... . He demands nothing from those countries save an opportunity to slip quietly under their skin." --Anthony Lane, The New Yorker
"Being a natural romantic, Leigh Fermor was able to probe the hidden recesses of this mixed civilization and to present us with a picture of the Indies more penetrating and original than any that has been presented before." --Harold Nicholson, The Observer "Before mass-market guides like Frommer's and Lonely Planet, travelogues were tourists' main resources outside Europe. For the 1950s Caribbean, Patrick Leigh Fermor's The Traveller's Tree was the bible." --The New York Times "Still the best piece of travel writing on the Caribbean." --The Guardian Praise for Patrick Leigh Fermor: "One of the greatest travel writers of all time"-The Sunday Times "A unique mixture of hero, historian, traveler and writer; the last and the greatest of a generation whose like we won't see again."-Geographical "The finest traveling companion we could ever have . . . His head is stocked with enough cultural lore and poetic fancy to make every league an adventure." -Evening Standard If all Europe were laid waste tomorrow, one might do worse than attempt to recreate it, or at least to preserve some sense of historical splendor and variety, by immersing oneself in the travel books of Patrick Leigh Fermor."--Ben Downing, The Paris ReviewReseña del editor
In the late 1940s Patrick Leigh Fermor, now widely regarded as one of the twentieth century’s greatest travel writers, set out to explore the then relatively little-visited islands of the Caribbean. Rather than a comprehensive political or historical study of the region, The Traveller’s Tree, Leigh Fermor’s first book, gives us his own vivid, idiosyncratic impressions of Guadeloupe, Martinique, Dominica, Barbados, Trinidad, and Haiti, among other islands. Here we watch Leigh Fermor walk the dusty roads of the countryside and the broad avenues of former colonial capitals, equally at home among the peasant and the elite, the laborer and the artist. He listens to steel drum bands, delights in the Congo dancing that closes out Havana’s Carnival, and observes vodou and Rastafarian rites, all with the generous curiosity and easy erudition that readers will recognize from his subsequent classic accounts A Time of Gifts and Between the Woods and the Water.
