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unpublished poems and illustrated with elegant engravings.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
