The sunlight and calm of the French Riviera have been a magnet for
writers since the fourteenth century. The Cote d'Azur has provided
the inspiration and setting for some of the greatest literature of
the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The French Riviera: A
Literary Guide for Travellers is a reader's journey along this
fabled coast, from Hyeres and Saint-Tropez in the west to the
Italian border in the east, introducing the lives and work of
writers who passed this way, from distinguished Nobel laureates to
new authors who found their voices there. Ted Jones's encyclopaedic
work covers them all: writers such as Graham Greene and W. Somerset
Maugham, who spent much of their lives there; F. Scott Fitzgerald
and Guy de Maupassant, whose work it dominates; and the countless
writers who simply lingered there, including Louisa M. Alcott, Hans
Christian Anderson, J.G. Ballard, Samuel Beckett, Arnold Bennett,
William Boyd, Bertholt Brecht, Anthony Burgess, Albert Camus, Bruce
Chatwin, Joseph Conrad, Charles Dickens, T.S. Eliot, Ian Fleming,
Ernest Hemingway, Aldous Huxley, James Joyce, Rudyard Kipling, D.H.
Lawrence, A.A.Milne, Vladimir Nabokov, Dorothy Parker, Sylvia
Plath, Jean-Paul Sartre, George Bernard Shaw, Robert Louis
Stevenson, Anton Tchekhov, Leo Tolstoy, Evelyn Waugh, H.G. Wells,
Oscar Wilde, P.G. Wodehouse, Virginia Woolf and W.B. Yeats - and
many others.
