As the island fights for independence from British colonial rule, ancient conflicts between Turkish and Greek Cypriots trouble the glittering Mediterranean waters. Into the brewing storm comes ex-pat writer Lawrence Durrell, yearning for the idyllic island lifestyle of his youth in Corfu. With his poet's eye for beauty and humour - and passable Greek - Durrell settles into a dilapidated villa and brilliantly captures the moods and atmospheres of island life in a changing world. Whether collecting folklore or wild flowers, describing the brewing revolution or eccentric local characters, this is more than just a classic travel memoir - it is an unforgettably intimate portrait of a community lost forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780571362332\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 7.75589 Inches, Length: 4.96062 Inches, Weight: 0.48722159902 Pounds, Width: 0.59055 Inches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"William Golding","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51863713546547,"sku":"9780571362332","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/11299433482391.jpg?v=1754202611","url":"https:\/\/bookabaloo.com\/products\/the-spire","provider":"Bookabaloo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
