Reflections On Blue Water by Alan Ross

Reflections On Blue Water by Alan Ross

Part memoir, part travel journal, this work records the long acquaintance of Alan Ross with the islands in the Gulf of Naples. It also recalls some of those who brought fame by their presence - Lenin, Rilke, Malaparte, and D.H. Lawrence.

Alan Ross (1922-2001) was a poet, writer, journalist, editor and publisher. In fact, he was a man of letters par excellence. Born in India, educated in England, he joined the Royal Navy in the Second World War and endured the Arctic convoys to Russia. Alan Ross took over The London Magazine (the definite article was later dropped) from John Lehmann and revitalized it. There, it has been said, 'he simplified as well as unified contemporary culture by the clarity of his unique editorial taste. He also discovered many new talents.'His writing embraced poetry, cricket journalism, biography, autobiography, criticism and travel writing. Many of his titles are to be reissued in Faber Finds.
