Athens and Hydra Journey Through War Echoes and Island Life

The writer recalls a shabby yet expansive town near Swanston Street age and contrasts it with Athens ancient stones cooling on a sea view toward Mt Lycabellus. A visit to Hydra reveals palatial Hydriots, former corsairs, and ruined hills now reopening as a summer retreat while a quirky travel phase notes a failing phrasebook and peculiar shopping misadventures.

Kipling Revisited A Portrait Of A Love Hate Figure

The article surveys Kipling’s rise and fall in literary esteem from a celebrated Empire voice to a divisive figure. It notes critics like Henry Jones and H G Wells praising him early, while later figures such as Edmund Wilson C S Lewis Lionel Trilling and H E Bates challenge his stature, and it traces his colonial mindset and craft driven by journalism and empire. It argues opinion will remain divided and cites Kipling as both beloved and reviled by readers and peers.
