A classic of travel writing - new to Classics, with an introduction by Rolli Lucarotti
‘Get away from here before you’re completely bewitched and enslaved…’ Dorothy Carrington was told, while sitting in a fisherman’s cafe at the magically quiet midday hour. But enslaved she was. GRANITE ISLAND, much more than a travel book, grew out of years spent in Corsica and is an incomparably vivid and delightful portrait. For the first time Corsica is brought to light as a vital element in Europe- a highly individualistic island culture whose people have nurtured their love of freedom and political justice, as well as their pride, hospitality and poetry.
