Product description
| Synopsis | |
| 'Falling for Icarus' is at once a meditation on love,a celebration of the passion for flight and an hilarious, vivid portrait of a village. Its generous and exhilarating characters - Yioryio, the irrepressible café owner,dreamy,dying Aphrodite and divine Apostoli, would-be pilot and Greek god in a golden flying suit - restore MacLean's faith in life. Through them, he tells a soaring, moving story about how a dream can transform sadness. On a windy spring morning in an ancient Cretan village, Rory MacLean fell to earth. His mother had died a few months earlier and a single obsession had risen from his grief: the notion to build a feather-light flying machine. And so, on the island where Daedalus and Icarus had made man's maiden flight, MacLean journeyed back to beginnings, back into the Greek myths, and -- with the help of his Cretan neighbors and plenty of wine -- built a plane and tried to fly. Falling for Icarusis at once a meditation on love, a celebration of the passion for flight, and a hilarious, vivid portrait of a village. Its generous and exhilarating characters--Yioryio, the irrepressible cafe owner; dreamy, dying Aphrodite; and divine Apostoli, would-be pilot and Greek god in a golden flying suit--restore MacLean's faith in life. Through them, he tells a soaring, moving story about how a dream can transform sadness. | |

| "The heart-warming evocation of one man's loving obsession: lyrical, funny, compassionate" --Colin Thubron, travel writer and novelist "Rory MacLean is one of the most strikingly original and talented travel writers of our generation" -- Katie Hickman, bestselling author and travel writer "An extraordinary work, curious and entertaining, tantilizing, often moving and above all entirely original - like everything MacLean writes, it's in a genre of its own" -- Jan Morris, author, journalist, and travel writer | |
