Lose yourself in this classic travelogue evoking the idyllic South
of France by the king of travel writing and real-life family member
of The Durrells in Corfu. 'Full of stories, landscapes, comedy,
history, heresies, animals, food, drink, and songs of the Midi.'
Patrick Leigh Fermor 'A richly characteristic bouillabaisse by our
last great garlicky master of the vanishing Mediterranean, our old
Prospero of the south.' Richard Holmes Provence, Southern France.
Celebrated writer and poet Lawrence Durrell made the Midi his home
for more than thirty years: and in his final book, he shares his
most evocative, dazzling memories of life as a local. A seductive
blend of travelogue, poet's notebook, and intimate autobiography,
Durrell guides us through the rich layers of human history that lie
beneath the region's legendary landscapes. From stories of magic
and mythology infusing the rolling vineyards and vivid lavender
fields to tales of Roman conquest, bull-worship, and courtly love
beneath the wounded blue skies, Caesar's Vast Ghost is a classic
memoir to be treasured. 'Casts a spell ... Masterly.' Jan Morris 'A
virtuoso.' New York Times
