Sicilian Carousel

Lose yourself in this vivid travelogue evoking the historic Mediterranean island of Sicily by the king of travel writing and real-life family member of The Durrells in Corfu. `A magician.` The Times Despite decades spent poetically chronicling Mediterranean life in Rhodes, Cyprus and Corfu, celebrated travel writer Lawrence Durrell had never set foot on the largest island: Sicily. For years, his friend Martine begged him to visit her on this sun-kissed paradise, but it took her sudden death to finally bring him to its shores – and he is not disappointed. Joining an eccentric tour group, Durrell immerses himself in the island`s spectacular archaeological remains, and becomes dizzy with Sicily`s rich history: its mysterious myths and meanings. Featuring unpublished poems and illustrated with elegant engravings. Sicilian Carousel is a gem that ranks with Durrell`s finest work.`Readers who have been to Sicily will love this book. Readers who have not been to Sicily will love this book.` Paul Fussell `Like long letters from a civilized and very funny friend – the prose as luminous as the Mediterranean air he loves.` Time
