Professor i klassisk filologi Carsten Høegs dagbog, breve og fotos fra en studierejse blandt det græske nomadefolk Sarakatsanerne.

Carsten Høeg indledte - 25 år gammel - sin rejse i september 1921 og gjorde i vinterens løb ophold på Mani (Pelopones' sydspids), hvor han skrev om blodhævns-skikken, og på Santorin, Kreta, Ægina, og i Konstantinopel og Athen. De her gengivne uddrag af dagbøgerne starter i Zagori-bjergene, da Carsten Høeg påbegynder sine egentlige studier. Studierejsen varede i 13 måneder.

Carsten Høeg set out on his journey in September 1921 - 25 years old - and during the course of the winter stopped off at Mani (at the southern tip of Peloponessos) where he wrote about the vendetta custom, and also at Santorini, Crete, Aegina, and in Constantinoples and Athens. The extracts from the diaries, which have been reproduced here, start in the Zagori mountains at the time when Carsten Høeg began his actual studies. The study tour lasted 13 months.
