Imagining Alexandria
Louis de Bernieres
A gift book of poems from author of Captain Corelli’s Mandolin, Louis de Berni res, beautifully illustrated with line drawings
Poetry was Louis de Berni res’ first literary love and Imagining Alexandria is his debut poetry collection. Here the author of the much-loved Captain Corelli’s Mandolin returns us to the vivid Mediterranean landscape of his fiction.
De Berni res was introduced to Greek poetry while in Corfu in 1983, and since then he has always travelled with a book of Cavafy’s poetry in his pocket. Not surprisingly, his own poems about the distant past, the erotic and the philosophical owe much to the influence of the great Alexandrian poet.
Beautifully illustrated with line drawings by Donald Sammut, this is a collection rich in sensuality, nostalgia, and music.
