Sinopsis

The Station follows three high-spirited young men visiting the monasteries on Mount Athos in 1927. They examine treasures and sketch the courtyards and those who live in them. They swim ecstatically off the sparkling, deserted beaches, climb mountains, talk and share meals with monks and transcribe these conversations with relish.  For life is very different for a celibate hermit on Mount Athos. Time has no meaning: the Son of God, His Virgin Mother, the Angels and the Saints are all living creatures of flesh and blood, and the Pope is a heretic. This slim book was little short of revolutionary in its championing of Greek Orthodoxy and Byzantine civilization, reversing centuries of western prejudice. It was the first of Robert Byron's travel books, revealing the flashing wit, bravery, passion and astonishing powers of visual observation which made him such an exceptional witness.

    Blankets and cushions can be used to great effect as personalised, and personal items. People will keek a personalised baby blanket or cushion, and even leave it to their progeny. Such an item could easily become a family heirloom. 
    This aspect is easily ignored, but for a few hours work, or a small outlay, a God-parent or close family friend can give a present that will be treasured for generations. 
    It is a small price to pay for such a lasting gift.

    The information in this ebook on various aspects of blankets, cushions, bedding and related subjects is organized into 15 chapters of about 500-600 words each.

    Blending luscious vivid imagery, social commentary and compelling personal narrative, Dickens recounts his time in Rome, Venice, Florence, Naples and more. An avid admirer of the country's architecture, art and landscapes, and fascinated by its history, Dickens also offers profound meditations on Italy's social and political struggles.
