Description

Description

The philhellene Jacques Mangeart (1805-1874) arrived in Patras in 1828 with the expeditionary force of Maison, participating in the establishment of the Franco-Greek printing house. From his experiences, he wrote his Memoirs, where his sympathy for the suffering Greeks is evident and his intention to defend them against the negative "public opinion" of Europe is acknowledged.

The author, in addition to major historical events (Liberation of Patras, Turkish Exodus, etc.), focuses on social life, customs, traditions, and habits of the Greeks, without prejudice but with sympathy, understanding, and evident romanticism.

The book is a valuable and unique testimony to the birth of the city of Patras through the ashes of the destruction brought by war.
