Description
Sicilian Carousel is a vivid travelogue that evokes the historic Mediterranean island of Sicily. Despite decades spent writing about life in Rhodes, Cyprus and Corfu, celebrated travel writer Lawrence Durrell had never set foot on the largest island: Sicily.
It was only after his friend Martine's sudden death that he finally visited this sun-kissed paradise, and he is not disappointed. Joining an eccentric tour group, Durrell immerses himself in the island's spectacular archaeological remains, becoming dizzy with Sicily's rich history: its mysterious myths and meanings.
Featuring unpublished poems and illustrated with elegant engravings, this book is a gem that ranks with Durrell's finest work. a worthwhile read for anyone who has been to Sicily or would love to experience its beauty through the eyes of a seasoned traveller.
