In 2009 Dolores Payas, Spanish translator of several of Patrick Leigh Fermor's books, visited her subject in his house in Greece for the first time. Out of this first encounter emerged a friendship that lasted until the writer's death in 2011.
Dolores Payas has written a delightful and moving account of colourful adventurer, Patrick Leigh Fermor, a snapshot account of his final years surrounded by his drinks, his guests, and above all, his books. This short book conveys a portrait of a man who "became indomitable, proud and charming in old age, while retaining his other attributes". An original and witty study in nostalgia, mixed with personal fortitude, right up until the end.
