PAGAN LIGHT

Dreams of Freedom and Beauty in Capri. Isolated and arrestingly beautiful, the island of Capri has been a refuge for renegade artists and writers fleeing the strictures of conventional society from the time of Augustus, who bought the island in 29 BC after defeating Antony and Cleopatra, to the early twentieth century, when the poet and novelist Jacques dAdelswrd-Fersen was in exile there after being charged with corrupting minors, to the 1960s, when Truman Capote spent time on the island. We also meet the Marquis de Sade, Goethe, Mark Twain, Oscar Wilde, Compton Mackenzie, Rilke, Lenin, and Gorky, among other

Visele de libertate si frumusete in Capri. Izolata si arestant de frumoasa, insula Capri a fost un refugiu pentru artistii si scriitorii renegati care fug de stricturile societatii conventionale de pe vremea lui Augustus, care a cumparat insula in 29 i.Hr., dupa ce i-a invins pe Antonio si Cleopatra, pana la inceputul secolului al XX-lea, cand poetul si romancierul Jacques dAdelswrd-Fersen s-a aflat in exil acolo dupa ce a fost acuzat de minori coruptori, in anii 1960, cand Truman Capote a petrecut pe insula.
