It goes without saying if you haven't read Fermor you won't regret it.

I 100% agree. It was one of the best books I ever read.
His prose is so fully realized that reading it makes one realize how different everything has become in 100 years.

Read his trilogy starting with "A time of gifts".
See how much Europe has changed in 90 years.

If you want to weep for what Europe once was, Read a Time of Gifts by Patrick Leigh Fermor. So much of the richness of European culture was lost in WW2.
We have no true aristocracy anymore, just petty bourgeoise and financiers.
