Le vichinghe volanti: a altre storie d’amore a Vigàta (Italian Edition) (Kindle Edition)Camilleri è un cantastorie, nessuno come lui riesce ad ammaliare i lettori con i suoi racconti, narrazioni inesauribili come quelle delle Mille e una notte. Vigàta è il teatro dove abitano i suoi personaggi, borghesia benpensante, poveretti ingenui, uomini di rispetto. E soprattutto donne; in questa raccolta è infatti l’amore il tema dominante, declinato nelle sue innumerevoli varianti dalla passione all’erotismo, dal tradimento alle situazioni boccaccesche.

Great Escapes Italy
To travel through Italy is as close as one gets to being in paradise. For centuries, writers, artists, architects, and merchants have been drawn here, inspired by the beauty of Venice, Florence, Naples, and Rome. Countless books, paintings, poems, and sculptures are evidence of its undying appeal, and over the past 60 years, the country has become one of the world’s top travel and holiday destinations. The loveliness of Italy―its architecture, landscapes, culture and food (some of the world’s finest!)―if not eternal, is certainly enduring, and the easygoing and relaxed Italian lifestyle, il dolce far niente, is still unrivaled.
Here, some of Italy’s most amazing landscapes are brought to life, like Lake Como (residence of George Clooney), Venice, Florence and Tuscany, the Amalfi Coast, and no less magical, the Aeolian Islands off the coast of Sicily. In these mythical surroundings are legendary hotels full of atmosphere, where novels are set, movies are made, weddings are celebrated, and famous love stories consummated: Villa d’Este on Lake Como, the Hotel Splendido in Portofino, the Il San Pietro on the Amalfi Coast, and the Villa Cimbrone in Ravello―to name just a few. But in Great Escapes Italy, TASCHEN also reveals where to find more secret and hidden jewels―from the Locanda Cipriani, a romantic hideaway on the island of Torcello, to the atmospheric Castello di Vicarello in Tuscany.
