Voices of the Old Sea

£7.99

Shortly after the Second World War Norman Lewis made three successive summer visits to the remote Catalan fishing village of Farol, in the Costa Brava.

His book is a moving account of the hardships and triumphs of a society dominated by the unpredictable seasons of the sea, and of the villagers' struggle to sustain their precarious existence and their way of life that was shortly to be swept away by the tourist developments of the 1950s.
