ISLANDS OF OBLIVION PONZA, PAESAGGI E ARCHITETTURE NEGLI SCRITTI DI NORMAN DOUGLAS
In July 1908, the Austro-Scottish novelist Norman Douglas embarked from Ischia to island of Ponza: presented a few years later on the pages of The English Review, the passionate narration of that brief and intense experience – lived in a necessarily spartan way between poignant beauty natural landscapes and the simple island buildings – enjoyed greater fame only after the publication of Summer Islands, in 1931, and Late Harvest in 1946, contributing decisively to the affirmation of the image of Ponza as the place of archaicity and innocence.
