The siren-like qualities of the Sicilian capital are woven layer
upon layer, each one revealing a stratum of the city's character.
In Palermo, Robert Alajmo lays out a compelling series of
reflections on the city's apparently endless facets. Disguised as a
tourist's handbook but written from the view of a lifelong resident
- with all the experience, affection, inside knowledge and
frustrations that entails - Alajmo offers more than the ordinary
recommendations for travellers. Palermo has been at history's
crossroads since recorded time began; an archive of hidden
cultural, architectural and culinary jewels. Its people, their
politics and their secrets, are subtly revealed, as is the
ineffable presence of the mafia in the cycles of daily life.
Ultimately what is described is the essence of the city and its
beauty.
