Product Description
Product Description
“The south wind blows constantly during the spring and summer. Hardly less constantly in autumn. And in winter, often for weeks on end.” Douglas’ famed novel of Capri, loved and derided in equal measure for its plot or lack thereof, is back in a palatable edition.

About the Author
Norman Douglas lived a long and scandalous life. Born in 1868, the son of a Scottish father and Austrian mother, he was a lifelong hedonist, and spent much of his time "hopping it" across borders to avoid arrest. Douglas was at once the most irascible, intolerant and kindest of men. He was also a writer of near-genius. He died in 1952.
Foreword writer Jan Morris is an acclaimed writer, whose many books (there are more than 30) include Venice, Oxford and much travel writing. Her latest novel, Hav, was published in 2006. She lives in Wales.<br /><br />Norman Douglas lived a long and scandalous life.
