Long before it became an Italian offshore island, Sicily was the land in the centre of the Mediterranean where the great civilisations of Europe and Northern Africa met. This title uncovers the complex history of Sicily, showing that it is about much more than 'The Godfather' and the mafia.
A Cultural Guide to Sicily from Signal Books in their series Landscapes of Imagination presents the island’s rich history as the land in the centre of the Mediterranean where the great civilizations of Europe and Northern Africa met. The book is arranged as a tour of the island; readers will find not just the famous Greek temples or amphitheatres but Muslim-style domes, Norman, Spanish French and Austrian influences, hidden churches of exceptional beauty, even British connections including Nelson’s estate in Maniace.
The author, Joseph Farrell, is emeritus Professor of Italian at the University of Strathclyde and translator of several novels and plays.
