Daily Bread: Stories from Rural Greece
by Beatrice Hamblett

A fine-art book of photographs and stories culled from 10 years of road trips through Greece. Daily Bread: Stories from Rural Greece offers a a fresh look at Greece while presenting a new kind of storytelling.

The reader will meet Litza, a young woman who rises at 4 a.m. daily and opens her bakery in a small mountain village near Albania. Elias comes to life, a handsome, rugged man living alone with his herd of 500 sheep above the meadows of Kato Pedina. The faces of Takis and Riko, a sheep farmer and his Albanian assistant, speak of the toils of milking and tending animals, year in year out.

In both her photographs and stories, Hamblett reaches for the moments that distill the essence of character and occasion, moments that celebrate the ancient traditions, the love of family,  the courage and dignity of a people as they embrace the 21st century.

*****

"The book, Daily Bread, with its one-of-a-kind photographs and short stories, celebrates all that is Greek—the language, the culture, the way of life. It is indeed an endorsement of Greece from the viewpoint of an American artist who has spent 10 years exploring this subject."
—Christos Panagopoulos, Ambassador, Embassy of Greece, Washington, DC


"Beatrice Hamblett is an old-style roving photographer perfectly willing to take the time necessary to get the shot she wants. She travels great distances by herself, to offer the rest of us her vision of a world that has existed for centuries yet remains on the cusp of modernity."
—Thierry Sagnier, writer, winner of Pushcart Prize

"In Daily Bread: Stories from Rural Greece, the author takes us on road trips deep into remote areas where she creates one-of-a-kind photographs that promote the wonders and beauty of Greece.The vernacular architecture, too, which she photographs was something to be forgotten. She has brought international attention to the master craftsmen who constructed the stone villages throughout Epirus, Greece and also to their unique history. We are all very grateful for her efforts."
—Zoe Kosmidou, PH.D., Cultural Counselor, Embassy of Greece, Washington, DC
