A stunning collection by William Abranowicz, The Greek
File captures the essence of Greece-an alluring country
where life itself is stripped down to its most essential
components and the ordinary becomes extraordinary. From a
single white cloud floating in a clear sky to a wrinkled
linen shirt drying in the sun to shores dotted with throngs
of buildings like pebbles washed in from the sea,
Abranowicz's work elevates simple everyday objects to
objects of austere beauty. These photographs capture the
many facets of the Greek islands: their serenity,
exceptional light, and arresting art and
architecture.
Just as Abranowicz reveals the beauty
of Greece through imagery, so too does world-renowned author
and scholar Edmund Keeley unveil the subtle poetry of this
Hellenic paradise. With an introduction by Keeley as well as
an excerpt from The Colussus of Maroussi by Henry
Miller, this elegantly designed volume is both a visual and
literary treasure that is as rich and enchanting as the
country it portrays.
