Writers' Houses

Writers' houses are places of both creation and inspiration, studios as much as homes. They are the most personal reflection of an author's private, and often closed, world, and their contents and style are just as often a revelation.

This beautiful book takes the reader into the intimacy of the homes of twenty great international literary figures, from Ernest Hemingway's simple world in Key West to Dylan Thomas' boathouse in Wales, from William Faulkner's mansion in Oxford, Mississippi to the aristocratic Palermo palace of Guiseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa. Discover the ties that bind the writers, their books, and their houses.
