The Bourlotas Fortune
Nicholas Gage, who has written five books about his native Greece, based this novel on his intimate knowledge of the life, customs, and moral code of the Greek island villages that shaped the men who would come to dominate international shipping. A leading New York Times investigative reporter when he was researching this book, he met with Greek shipowners in New York, London, Paris, Athens, and the Greek islands.
