La Capria, Raffaele; Petroff, Elizabeth A. and Pioli, Richard J. (Joint Translators)
Capri and No Longer Capri
New York Thunder's Mouth Press; Nation Books 2001 1560253487 / 9781560253488 First U.S. Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine Collectible
xi, [158] pp.; 22 cm. First published under title: Capri e non piu Capri. Translated from the Italian. Tight, clean copy. Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. "Raffaele La Capria creates a portrait of Capri that begins in the time of Ulysses and moves to our present complex and hectic reality, and composes an elegy for a Nature blasted by human negligence and error. Americans have now been visiting Capri for many years, and La Capria's book will offer much to newcomers to the island that they would not otherwise have at their disposal, for his slim volume is a guidebook of a special kind, something like a novel and a local Italian guide. Capri has had a long history as a place of retreat, of sensual license, and of unparalleled natural beauty. Without running through the usual list of sights, La Capria gives his reader the sensation of having peered beneath each stone, and of giving an appreciation of what such a place has done to others, some of whom, once under Capri's spell, gave their lives over to their dreams." - Publisher.
