Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is set on the slopes of Mount Etna in medieval Sicily and tells the story of a young English woman called Ceres who comes to live in her father's ancient castle. Ceres immerses herself in the passionate and primitive world of the Sicilians, falling in love with the wild beauty of the island, its people and its customs. Originally sympathetic to the plight of the peasants and suspicious of her father's motives, Ceres's enchantment with Sicilian life is gradually eroded as she witnesses the brutal reality of feudal society, with its treacherous betrayals, vendettas and kidnappings. The book explores themes of cultural identity, sexual awakening and the nature of justice - Ceres's journey to understand the Sicilian people leads her to question her own values and beliefs. The author vividly recreates medieval Sicily and brings to life the people who inhabited it, from the peasants toiling in the fields to the ruthless brigands who terrorised the countryside. This book is a fascinating exploration of a complex and turbulent period of history, shedding light on the social and cultural forces that shaped the island of Sicily and its people. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
