Product details
Sicily is located in the Mediterranean in such a convenient position that it has always presented itself like a showcase. This not only attracted tourists from all sides of the sea but also, throughout history, numerous immigrants and conquerors. As a result, an exciting cultural mixture of East and West emerged, leaving its mark all over the island. The beauty of Sicily consists of its unique landscape, dominated by the fateful Mount Etna, the historical remnants, and the sensual lifestyle of the Sicilians. Natalie John, an award-winning specialist in Italy, explores these factors in her stories and allows herself to be seduced by Sicily: she indulges in the delights of Sicilian cuisine, dominated by fish dishes and figure-defying dolci, at markets and trattorias, embarks on an exciting exploration of a nature park where a viper might cross her path, and visits Matteo, one of the last true tuna fishermen. And of course, the Mafia is also part of the noteworthy narrative in Sicily, as is the struggle of the brave against corruption and violence. Above all, Natalie John succumbs to the magic of this island, which inevitably captivates every visitor and never lets go.
