Summary

Lawrence Durrell: Prospero's Cave - a guide to the landscape and customs of the island of Corfu

Lawrence Durrell spent almost five years with his family on Corfu - the island of Odysseus, the Phaeacians and supposedly Prospero from Shakespeare's "The Tempest" - which he left on the eve of the start of World War II. About his stay on Corfu, he left records rich in details and captivating descriptions, from which after the end of the war "Prosper's Cave" will be created, a work that is not a prose memoir, nor a cultural history of the island, nor a guide for curious tourists, but a little bit of everything. Durrell describes a night harpoon hunt for octopuses with an experienced fisherman, a village fair with picturesque folk carts and local costumes, a satirical puppet theater show about the adventures of the cunning Karađoz, rich olive groves and vineyards, life and work on the island in winter, deserted fairy-tale bays in the summer beneficial sea, the cult of St. Spyridon and the unusual beliefs and customs of the islanders, gives the history of Corfu, an island that the Turks never conquered, and introduces us to many interesting people who live on the island - the scholar Teodor Stefanidis or the Armenian writer Zarijan.
