Book Description
Matthew has a good job, a beautiful girlfriend, a nice car. He is an engineer at a well known company. He does all the things that society expects of him. So why does he feel so desperately unhappy? And if this is what life is all about, then what is the point? In an attempt to find out, he quits everything familiar and books a one way ticket to the other side of the globe. He finds his way to the small island of Skyros in Greece. He takes a job at a Holistic Holiday Centre teaching windsurfing. And as the warm dusty Greek days pass, he finds himself asking: "What am I doing here?" And "What is love?" He journeys through countries, and his own mind to try to find what it is that has been eluding him.

Mosquitoes in Skyros
Author: Wayne Noakes
Publisher: Austin Macauley Publishers
ISBN: 1398449946
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
A spiritual retreat – or so this man thought – was something you go on to embrace your connection with life and (hopefully) learn a bit more about yourself. If things go well, you might end up looking to the future with added confidence. However, when the realisation dawns that you have been semi-consciously searching for “the one” for the last eleven years, and that the very essence and substance of true love risks materialising during the retreat... I mean, what is a man to do? A light-hearted search for greater well-being on a Greek island combines with “a nice holiday” to engender somewhat more sharing than anticipated. The parallel narratives of the retreat workshops and a budding relationship begin to over-flow – one nourishing the other, to the point that a rare and very real love seems almost fated. Written with great honesty and sensitivity and (yet!) through a male perspective, poignant memories from childhood are pieced together with reflections on relationships in general to bring such focus on the natural laws affecting us all, that a sense of underlying good purpose in every relationship starts to emerge. With evocative descriptions of Greek cuisine and culture as the backcloth, threads of spiritual mystique interweave with a most-passionate romance. The words of wisdom that emerge organically as the story unfolds may be left to wash over, or be investigated using the cross-references to appendices that support self-development alongside the story; but in any event, there is always the sun and the feta!

The Island of Skyros from Late Roman to Early Modern Times
Author: Michalis Karambinis
Publisher: Leiden University Press
ISBN: 9789087282349
Category : Excavations (Archaeology)
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Archaeology in the Aegean region has mainly focused on the prehistoric and Greco-Roman periods, which has left us with relatively little knowledge of human activity in the area in the medieval period. Meanwhile, the archaeological research that has been conducted there has tended to deal primarily with art and architecture. This volume aims to fill that gap, using the ancient past as a background against which to examine continuity and change on the island of Skyros from the late Roman period onwards.
