The Villa Diana by Alan Moorehead
The Villa Diana had been occupied by the troops of seven different armies during World War Two. It was here that Alan Moorehead, one of the greatest correspondents of that war, moved in 1948 to write this celebrated book. Surrounded by extreme physical beauty and governed by the rhythms of the seasons, he describes with wit the drama of daily life.
"'A classic.. Moorehead is more than a first-class reporter. He is an artist... Some of the battle scenes stand comparison with the famous battle descriptions of Stendhal and Tolstoy' THE OBSERVER"
Alan Moorehead (1910-1983) was born in Melbourne and came to England at the age of 25, making a worldwide reputation as a journalist and war correspondent. After the war, he travelled constantly and wrote a series of vivid reconstructions of historical events.
