The Islands and the Sea by John A Murray
Since Columbus first stepped ashore on San Salvador Island in 1492, writers have attempted to capture the natural beauty of the Caribbean. This anthology of nature-writing on the West Indies includes works by Daniel Defoe, Charles Darwin, Ernest Hemingway, V.S. Naipaul and others.
