Description Norman Douglas, one of the 20th century's great travellers in Italy, was for most of his life inextricably, passionately, connected to the Bay of Naples.
This breathtaking sweep of sea and coastline - dominated by Vesuvius and with Pozzuoli and Sorrento standing sentinel - was Douglas' first experience of Italy.
It was here, on the island of Capri, that he died, some 55 years after first buying a villa in Naples.
Siren Land, Douglas' first travel book, is a homag.
