Old Calabria: Annotated

The life of Norman Douglas was indeed a troubled one, and perhaps his best times were when travelling. In this book, Douglas writes candidly about his observations; nothing is taboo or off limits. Douglas, however, writes as a mere observer as he journeys from 1912 to 1915, so once observed, a zone is left behind and a new area is on the horizon to be spoken of. This fascinating log of travel journeys is a must read for anyone who wants a view of a world that used to be! *Includes brief Biography of author.
