The Years In The Aegean May Have Been, At Best, Half Perfect, But It Was On Hydra That They Connected To A Place, A Lifestyle And A Community That Allowed Them To Live And Express Themselves Intensely, And As They Chose. They Refused To Believe Their Dreams Were An Illusion, Or That Belief In Their Own Abilities And A Leap-of-faith Might Not Allow Them To Reach Beyond The Constraints Of Their Birthright.half The Perfect World Tells The Story Of The Postwar International Artist Community That Formed On The Greek Island Of Hydra. Fostered By Australian Literary Couple George Johnston And Charmian Clift And Including, Most Famously, Renowned Singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen, This Fabled Colony Fully Embraced The Creative And Social Opportunities And Existential Challenges Of Its Remote Aegean Lifestyle.
