' Sicily is the key to everything' Johann Wolfgang von Goethe The author of the classic book on Venice turns his sights to Sicily in this beautiful book full of maps & colour photographs'I discovered Sicily almost by mistake We drove as far as Naples then put the car on the night ferry to Palermo There was a degree of excitement in the early hours when we passed Stromboli emitting a rich glow every half-minute or so like an ogre puffing on an immense cigar; & a few hours later in the early morning sunshine we sailed into the Conca d' Oro the Golden Shell in which the city lies Apart from the beauty of the setting I remember being instantly struck by a change in atmosphere The Strait of Messina is only a couple of miles across & the island is politically part of Italy; yet somehow one feels that one has entered a different world This book is among other things an attempt to analyse why this should be' The stepping stone between Europe & Africa the gateway between the East & the West at once a stronghold clearing-house & observation post Sicily has been invaded & fought over by Phoenicians & Greeks Carthaginians & Romans Goths & Byzantines Arabs & Normans Germans Spaniards & the French for thousands of years It has belonged to them all
