Anabasis of Xenophon
Indice
The story of this book contains, then, in a certain way, the sum of all of Xavier Moret’s Greece, threaded together in a journey that is also an invitation to contemplate the Hellenic country beyond the economic crisis; to see it, in fact, for what it is: an endless lesson in history, mythology, culture, wisdom and life.

This is an unclassifiable travel book -a novel perhaps?- that explains the protagonist’s trip to Greece based on a curious fact: the discovery of a golden figurine representing a wild goat found in the archaeological site of Akrotiri on the island of Santorini. From this statuette, the protagonist discovers a series of casual events that will reveal the enigma of the golden ibex; a common thread that will allow us to understand many things related to Greece, the Mediterranean, our history and ourselves.

“The best way to relive these unsolved mysteries – Brandi writes in front of Eleusis – is not to try to unveil them. One adopts a slow pace and the gaze caresses, like the beam of a lighthouse, either those splendidly rusted rocks, or that sea, stretched out like a blue sheet to receive in vol plané the gods of Attica descending from Olympus.”
With an almost plastic prose and an expressive condensation typical of the poet, Brandi transports us to the landscapes of his elliptical traveling experience placing us, like himself, in the territory where reality and myth merge, where each thing claims an infinity of others, in space and time, letting us glimpse, with intelligence and lightness, the complexity of the associative labyrinths that constitute our history.
“(Brandi), a prestigious art historian, evokes his walks through the most illustrious Hellenic sceneries: Crete, the Acropolis of Athens, Delphi, Eleusis, Olympia, and Mistra and offers us his impressions, combining classical memories and current landscapes, with a refined aesthetic and clear personal style.”
