The Durrells in Corfu | Larry's secret place

Описание: ✔watch ✔like ✔comment ✔share ✔dream

Corfu island | Follow the footsteps of Lawrence Durrell in Vigla, an elevated lookout point overlooking Kalami beach - a place untouched by time, described beautifully in his lyrical Corfu novel Prospero's Cell.

"Climb to Vigla in the time of cherries and look down. You will see that the island lies against the mainland roughly in the form of a sickle. On the landward side you have a great bay, noble and serene, and almost completely landlocked.

Northward the tip of the sickle almost touches Albania and here the troubled blue of Ionian is sucked harshly between ribs of limestone and spits of sand. Kalami fronts the Albanian foothills, and into it the water races as into a swimming pool: a milky ferocious green when the north wind curdles it."

L. Durrell, Prospero’s Cell

Lawrence Durrell and his wife Nancy were freethinkers whose uninhibited lifestyle would have been impossible in 1930s England.

In early 1936 they moved to the White House, a fisherman's cottage on the shore of Corfu's northeastern coast at Kalami, then a tiny fishing village.
