` Sicily is the key to everything` Johann Wolfgang von Goethe `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
- & yet has properly been part of none. John Julius Norwich was inspired to become a writer by his first visit in 1961 & this book is the result of a fascination that has lasted over half a century. In tracing its dark story, he attempts to explain the enigma that lies at the heart of the Mediterranean`s largest isl&. This vivid short history covers everything from erupting volcanoes to the assassination of Byzantine emperors, from Nelson`s affair with Emma Hamilton to Garibaldi & the rise of the Mafia. Taking in the key buildings & towns, & packed with fascinating stories & unforgettable characters, Sicily is the book he was born to write.
