Présentation de l'éditeur

Subtitled: A Guide to the Landscape and Manners of the Island of Corcyra (Corfu). An odd, melancholic work, at once a character study and brief memoir as well as a travel guide. Written by the author in the mid-'30s when he and wife lived on the island (and awaited publication of the Black Book), but not published 'til years later, when memory and a world war changed things dramatically.
