LEVANT PB
Εκδότης John Murray , ISBN 9780719567087
Levant is a book of cities. It describes Smyrna, Alexandria and Beirut when they were windows on the world, escapes from nationality and tradition, centres of wealth, pleasure and freedom.

Smyrna was burnt; Alexandria Egyptianised; Beirut lacerated by civil war.
