- Summary:
- Capri, Ischia, Procida, Stromboli, Lipari: for nearly a century these islands of legendary beauty proved a magnet for writers, artists, filmmakers, political exiles, and scintillating conversation.
- Neruda, Rilke, Gorky, D. H. Lawrence, E. F. Benson, Norman Douglas, Lawrence Durrell, W. H. Auden, and Ingrid Bergman: they came to the islands off the southwestern coast of Italy seeking creative and personal freedom and left fame and notoriety in their wake. In Reflections on Blue Water Alan Ross reflects on the islands that he first visited in 1948, revisiting them through a lifetime's reading. A brilliant guide and companion, he brings a poet's perception to the glorious land-and seascapes.
