At the Palaces of Knossos

Blending historical fact and classical myth, the author of Zorba the Greek and The Last Temptation of Christ transports the reader 3,000 years into the past, to a pivotal point in history: the final days before the ancient kingdom of Minoan Crete is to be conquered and supplanted by the emerging city-state of Athens.

Imbinand faptele istorice si mitul clasic, autorul cartilor Zorba Grecul si Ultima ispita a lui Hristos transporta cititorul cu 3.000 de ani in trecut, intr-un punct cheie al istoriei: ultimele zile inainte ca vechiul regat al Cretei minoice sa fie cucerit si inlocuit de orasul-stat in curs de dezvoltare Atena.
