Darrell’s autobiographical book, which tells about his years in Cyprus, describes the now vanished realities of patriarchal island life.
The classic of British literature of the 1953th century, Lawrence Durrell, settled in Cyprus in XNUMX, three years before the start of the civil war that divided the island into two warring camps and forever destroyed its traditional way of life. Darrel’s autobiographical book, which tells about his years in Cyprus, describes the now disappeared realities of patriarchal island life, while tracing the gradual slide of this comfortable world into the abyss of ethnic strife. Charming and funny stories from the life of Cypriots, entertaining facts from the history and culture of the island, recorded by a great artist, recreate the once unique atmosphere that once reigned here and will certainly be of interest to everyone who has visited Cyprus in the recent past or plans to go there in the near future.
