Elegy for Corsica

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"All categories of lovers should be grateful to Mr. Wagner, for Corsica has all the wild scenery the adventurer can desire . . . And yet Mr. Wagner has not written a guide book. Far from it. He calls his book an 'elegy' partly because he fears that the island is now doomed to become 'another minority culture gone for good, an island conquered by campers for a few months each year.' He writes less about the magnificent scenery of Corsica than about the character of the Corsicans . . . Here, at least, is a small part of the world that is different, and proud of it."- Times Literary Supplement.



"Geoffrey Wagner's portrait of Corsica is brilliantly penetrat-ing and not a little disturbing."- The Tablet
