The Past is Always Present
In The Past Is Always Present, Tore Tvarnø Lind examines the musical revival of Greek Orthodox chant at the monastery of Vatopaidi within the monastic society of Mount Athos, Greece. In particular, Lind focuses on the musical activities at the monastery and the meaning of the past in the monks' efforts at improving their musical performance practice through an emphasis on tradition. Based on a decade of intense fieldwork and extensive interviews with members of Athos' monastic community, Lind covers a vast array of topics.

Athene en de Peloponnesus
Een veelzijdige gids over het betoverende landschap en de oeroude mythen van Griekenland. Voor de reiziger die nieuwe ontdekkingen wil doen langs antieke wegen.'Daniël Koster mijdt de platgetreden paden en leidt de reiziger via bijzondere (wandel)routes naar magnifieke vergezichten.

In collaboration with the English Nat...
