{"product_id":"hazzard-shirley-greene-on-capri-9781860498732","title":"Greene On Capri","description":"When friends die, one's own credentials change: one becomes a survivor. Graham Greene has already had biographers, one of whom has served him mightily. Yet I hope that there is room for the remembrance of a friend who knew him - not wisely, perhaps, but fairly well - on an island that was ''not his kind of place,'' but where he came season after season, year after year \u0026amp; where he, too, will be subsumed into the capacious story.' For millennia the cliffs of Capri have sheltered pleasure-seekers \u0026amp; refugees alike, among them the emperors Augustus \u0026amp; Tiberius, Henry James, Rilke \u0026amp; Lenin, plus hosts of artists, eccentrics \u0026amp; outcasts. Here in the 1960s Graham Greene became friends with Shirley Hazzard \u0026amp; her husband, the writer Francis Steegmuller; their friendship lasted until Greene's death in 1991. In GREENE ON CAPRI, Hazzard uses their ever volatile intimacy as a prism through which to illuminate Greene's mercurial character, his work \u0026amp; talk \u0026amp; the extraordinary literary culture that long thrived on this ravishing, enchanted island.","brand":"Little, Brown Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53663589826902,"sku":"9781860498732-V","price":4.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781860498732_1_febbc193-c00c-486a-9d77-083717bce5a6.jpg?v=1778789291","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/hazzard-shirley-greene-on-capri-9781860498732","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
