Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Lose yourself in this classic travelogue evoking the idyllic South of France by the king of travel writing and real-life family member of The Durrells in Corfu. 'Full of stories, landscapes, comedy, history, heresies, animals, food, drink, and songs of the Midi.' Patrick Leigh Fermor 'A richly characteristic bouillabaisse by our last great garlicky master of the vanishing Mediterranean, our old Prospero of the south.' Richard Holmes Provence, Southern France. Celebrated writer and poet Lawrence Durrell made the Midi his home for more than thirty years: and in his final book, he shares his most evocative, dazzling memories of life as a local. A seductive blend of travelogue, poet's notebook, and intimate autobiography, Durrell guides us through the rich layers of human history that lie beneath the region's legendary landscapes. From stories of magic and mythology infusing the rolling vineyards and vivid lavender fields to tales of Roman conquest, bull-worship, and courtly love beneath the wounded blue skies, Caesar's Vast Ghost is a classic memoir to be treasured. 'Casts a spell . Masterly.' Jan Morris 'A virtuoso.' New York Times. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Libro Prima edizione
Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition. Here is a truly lovely book wherein we are guided through the historical beauty of Provence by Lawrence Durrell, a man who has lived in Provence for thirty years. Gracing Durrell's genial narration are the beautiful color photographs of Harry Peccinotti. Also included are nineteen poems by Durrell. **************************************** From the dust-jacket write-up : "For more than thirty years the world-famous writer Lawrence Durrell has lived in Provence, that magical wedge of land in southern France that has been the scene of so much rich and varied history. Julius Caesar gave Provence its name and built his fleet for the Egyptian campaign there - at Arles, which was then a coastal city. Earlier, the Roman general Marius, whom history has sorely neglected, brilliantly defeated a vast horde of Nordic barbarians there, thus saving Rome from almost certain destruction. Long before the Romans discovered Provence, the Phoenicians and Greeks had preceded them. But these earlier settlers were essentially seagoing people, and it was the Romans who left their indelible mark, magnificent vestiges of which remain today: arenas and theaters, arches and bridges, road systems and aqueducts. Caesar's vast ghost still haunts the tourist playgrounds of today. ********************************************* "Durrell clearly loves Provence and savors it as perhaps only an adopted son can. His is not a guidebook, though readers will find here information and countless intriguing morsels unavailable in any tourist handbook. Nor is it a writer's journal, though it preserves memories and cameos from the author's intimate knowledge of the place and people. It is, rather, a letter to posterity, capturing the essential spirit of this ancient, enchanting land, watered by a great river, and the extraordinary array of warriors, historians, philosophers, troubadours, popes, and poets who constitute its human history through the centuries. Durrell was a long-time close friend of Henry Miller, and the two of them influenced each others' work. ************************************* TITLE : Caesar's Vast Ghost, Aspects of Provence / AUTHOR : Lawrence Durrell (1913 - 1990) / ILLUSTRATIONS : Photos by Harry Peccinotti; End-papers by Oscar Epfs / IMPRINT : Arcade Publishing (Subsidiary of Little, Brown Co.) / PLACE : New York / YEAR : (1990) / EDITION : First U.S. Edition, so stated and with publisher's number line, 1 - 10 / STATUS : OP PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Trade hardcover; contains 39 color photographs + 2 small illustrations appended; includes an Introduction, Notes and Sources, an index; xiv + 210 pages; approximately 7 3/8" x 9 5/8"; dark green boards with title, etc. lettered in gold on spine; color-decorated end-papers; color-pictorial photographic dust-jacket; rear panel of jacket has a photo-portrait of Durrell *********************************** CONDITION - VERY GOOD - A desireable copy, clean, bright and presentable the sole imperfections being to the dust-jacket - mild surface rub and a small with wrinkles to the bottom edge of the rear panel it's a lovely copy.

Condizione: Gut. First edition. XIV, 210 p. Lediglich der Schutzumschlag ist leicht berieben, sonst ein sehr gutes Exemplar ohne Anstreichungen / Only the dust jacket is slightly rubbed, otherwise a very good copy without annotations. - For more than thirty years the world- famous writer Lawrence Durrell has lived in Provence, that magical wedge of land in southern France that has been the scene of so much rich and varied history Julius Caesar gave Provence its name and built his fleet for the Egyptian campaign there at Arles, which was then a coastal city. Earlier, the Roman general Marius, whom history has sorely neglected, brilliantly defeated a vast horde of Nordic barbarians there, thus saving Rome from almost certain destruction. Long before the Romans discovered Provence, the Phoenicians and Greeks had preceded them. But these earlier settlers were essentially seagoing people, and it was the Romans who left their indelible mark, magnificent vestiges of which remain today: arenas and theaters, arches and bridges, road systems and aqueducts. Caesar's vast ghost still haunts the tourist playgrounds of today. Durrell clearly loves Provence and savors it as perhaps only an adopted son can. His is not a guidebook, though readers will find here information and countless intriguing morsels unavailable in any tourist handbook. Nor is it a writer's journal, though it preserves memories and cameos from the author's intimate knowledge of the place and people. It is rather a letter to posterity, capturing the essential spirit of this ancient, enchanting land, watered by a great river, and the extraordinary array of warriors, historians, philosophers, troubadours, popes, and poets who constitute its human history through the centuries. As foils to Durrell's own observations and comments, two old and cherished friends Jérôme the saintly tramp and Aldo the impoverished nobleman in his tumbledown château add theirs throughout the book, complementing and sometimes contradicting, but always enriching our knowledge of the history and essence of the Midi and its people. Evocative chapters are dedicated to a number of the author's enthusiasms: bullfighting; the Medieval Courts of Love and the troubadours; Provençal food as well as some of its more exotic and strange drinks; burial customs; coins and fountains; and the favors of Cuné- gonde, the latex beauty. As Durrell notes, Provence is less a place than an idea, "a funnel through which almost every race, ancient or modern, has passed on its way to war, upon roads traced and defended by the bravery and enterprise of the ancient Greeks and Romans." What he desires, then, is to bring us "a Provence of landscape insights and historic portraits, but one which keeps firmly in view the identity of the place itself underneath all the superficial changes. To try and trace the permanent Provence still living and breathing underneath the vast panorama of its history; the still present reality living on in spite of such a kaleidoscopic past." In that ambitious and loving endeavor, he has succeeded magnificently. Caesar's Vast Ghost is a monument not only to the region, but also to the author himself. / Contents List of illustrations List of poems Introduction i After Valence ii Baptisms iii Terre d'élection de la haute magie iv Bull-worship v Caesar's Vast Ghost vi Nurse and mistress of the crossroads vii The story of Marius viii The Jealous God ix Woman in Provence Conclusion: Le cercle refermé Notes and sources Index.
