Items related to Majorca Observed
'from all Majorca I chose Deya, a small fishing and olive-producing village on the mountainous north-west coast of the island...where I found everything I wanted as a background to my work as a writer: sun, sea, mountains, spring waters, shady trees, no politics and a few civilized luxuries such as electric light and a bus service.' In 1946 Robert Graves moved to Majorca on the advice of Gertrude Steine and found it to be a delightful solace from the rigours of life in England. Majorca Observed is an intimate and endearing portrait of the Majorcan way of life - its customs, traditions, and quirky idiosyncrasies. Through his colourful descriptions Graves offers a glimpse of the magic that so captivated him. AUTHBIO: Robert Graves was a prolific writer and turned his hand to essays, translations, historical works, novels and short stories. During his lifetime he was known for his highly unorthodox and individual views, in particular on religion, but it was for his poetry that he most wished to be remembered. Ranked among the twelve poets of the Great War, Graves' verse is marked for its intensity and fervent passion.
