Norman Lewis führt Tagebuch über seine Zeit als Nachrichtenoffizier in Neapel, von Herbst 1943, der Landung der alliierten Truppen bei Salerno, bis zu seiner Abberufung im Herbst 1944. Er verzeichnet Gewalt, Unfähigkeit, Not, Witz, Erfindungsgeist und Verstellungskunst der Bewohner dieser fernen, "orientalischen" Stadt am Ende des großen Krieges. Seine Chronik ist eine Initiation ins Neapolitanische. Das Buch urteilt nicht, sondern beobachtet und registriert mit großer Anteilnahme und doch mit Distanz.

Norman Lewis is Britain's greatest living travel writer, with a list of some 10 travel books and several books of collected journalism to his name. However Lewis regards his greatest achievement to have been the reaction to his article Genocide in Brazil, published in The Sunday Times in 1968. It led to a change in Brazilian law relating to the treatment of the Indians and to the formation of Survival International which fights for the survival of indigenous peoples everywhere.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Norman Lewis arrives in war-torn Naples as an intelligence officer in 1944. The starving population has devoured all the tropical fish in the aquarium, respectable women have been driven to prostitution and the black market is king. Lewis finds little to admire in his fellow soldiers, but gains sustenance from the extraordinary vivacity of the Italians. There is the lawyer who earns his living bringing a touch of Roman class to funerals, the gynaecologist who "specializes in the restoration of lost virginity" and the widowed housewife who times her British lover against the clock. "Were I given the chance to be born again," writes Lewis, "Italy would be the country of my choice.". The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Artikel-Nr. GOR001320947
