Capri and No Longer Capri
Capri and No Longer Capri
Americans have been visiting Capri for decades and La Capriaâs book will offer much to newcomers to the island that they would not otherwise have at their disposal. Capri has had a long history as a place of retreat, of sensual license and of unparalleled natural beauty. Without running through the usual list of sights, La Capria gives his reader the sensation of having peered beneath each stone. Far removed from the piazetta, with its teeming crowd of sightseers and cafes, still stand the silent, secret, and âsacredâ places not usually reached by day trippers and all of them splendid occasions for taking out La Capria and reading him. âThis book is like a mysterious film noir, full of shadows, with the shameless participation of the beauty and of the sun that are there to draw us along splendid false leads...It is impossible not to love this book.â
