Download or read book Wild Olives written by William Graves and published by Random House. This book was released on 2008-09-04 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1944, at the age of five, William Graves was taken from England to the delightful mountain village of Deya in Majorca, where his father - the poet Robert Graves - had returned with his new family to the place he had lived with Laura Riding before the war. Young William grew up in the shadow of this great writer in the Englishness of the Graves household, while experiencing the ways of life of the Majorcans, which had hardly changed for hundreds of years. Wonderfully observant, and full of feeling for the locality, this book is also a fascinating portrait of Robert Graves himself, his 'Muses', and his entourage, and a revealing study of how the son of a famous father finds his own identity.
Download or read book Mallorca and Tourism written by R. J. Buswell and published by Channel View Publications. This book was released on 2011 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the popular imagination, Mallorca is the archetypal mass tourism resort, one of the world's pioneers of mass tourism, linking the resources of the Mediterranean to the supply of tourists from northern and western Europe. It is now attempting to better manage the ubiquitous transformational environmental and socio-economic impact of the industry. The book identifies and examines critically the major socio-economic and political forces that have played a significant part in the formation of the industry; the development of tourism as a business and efforts to diversify the tourism product as it move into the uncertainties of the 21st century.
Download or read book A Mediterranean Emporium written by David Abulafia and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-05-09 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Situated astride the trade routes of the western Mediterranean, the Catalan kingdom of Majorca has long deserved attention. It was established under the will of King James I of Aragon, who conquered Majorca in 1229, but was ruled from 1276 to 1343 by a cadet dynasty. In addition to the Balearic Islands the kingdom included the key business centres of Montpellier and Perpignan, and other lands in what is now southern France. It was also home to important Jewish and Muslim communities, and was the focus of immigration from Catalonia, Provence and Italy. This book emphasises the major transformations in the trade of the Balearic Islands from the eve of the Catalan conquest to the Black Death, and the effect of the kingdom's creation and demise on the economy of the region. Links between the island and mainland territories, and as far afield as England and the Canaries, are analysed in depth.
Download or read book Daughter of Dei written by Jan Edwards and published by . This book was released on 2021-09-02 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Stratford-upon-Avon-based radio presenter Laura Lundon loses the job she adores - shortly after her beloved aunt's death - she thinks things couldn't get any worse. Until her parents reveal a long-kept family secret. On discovering that she was conceived in Deya in Majorca, Laura faces up to her dislike of foreign travel to visit the holiday island in Spain ... on a mission to discover her biological father's identity. During her first evening in Palma, where Laura's staying for her first week, she meets gorgeous local photographer Carlos when he rescues her from some drunks' unwanted attention. The two have dinner together and see each other again as Carlos becomes first her friend/island guide and then, one night, her lover. When Carlos leads Laura to a shocking conclusion about her biological parent, she flees from him and from Palma to the mountain village of Deya. There she stays in the luxurious sanctuary of La Residencia hotel, where she tries to come to terms with the recent events that have changed the landscape of her life. One day she rents a car for an excursion away from the mountains to visit one of Majorca's inland towns. Caught in a sudden, heavy storm, Laura has a chance encounter with an American woman who runs a cat refuge in the countryside. The woman needs to return to the States to be with her dying mother, and Laura volunteers to look after the refuge on a temporary basis. Although Laura isn't by nature a practical person, she learns to cope with cat litter trays, the felines' needle-like claws, and the challenges of daily life in a Majorcan cat refuge. But when the American woman's landlord comes to visit and makes a pass at Laura, she won't cope with his unwanted advances and throws him out of the property. The landlord takes his revenge by issuing the cat refuge with a formal eviction. Unable to contact the American, Laura is left to use her own initiative and personal resources she didn't know she possessed to ensure the cats and kittens aren't left homeless. Can she find alternative premises in time? And will the truth about her biological father bring her the love and happiness she thought was lost?

Download or read book The Lemon Grove written by Helen Walsh and published by Random House Canada. This book was released on 2014-02-25 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set on the rugged, mountainous west coast of Mallorca, this taut, sultry, brilliantly paced novel is an urgent meditation on female desire, the vicissitudes of marriage and the allure of youth. Taking place over the course of one week, The Lemon Grove lands in the heat of Deia, a village on an island off the southeast coast of Spain. Jenn and Greg are on their annual holiday to enjoy languorous, close afternoons by the pool, and relaxed dinners overlooking the rocks. But the equilibrium is upset by the arrival of their teenage daughter, Emma, and her boyfriend, Nathan. Jenn, in her early forties, loves her (older) husband and her (step)daughter and is content with her life, she thinks. But when this beautiful, reckless young man comes into her world, she is caught by a sexual compulsion that she's seldom felt before. As the lines hotly blur between attraction, desire and obsession, Jenn’s world is thrown into tumult--by Nathan's side, she could be young and carefree once again, and at this stage in her life, the promise of youth is every bit as seductive as the promise of passion. Jenn struggles between the conflicting pulls of resistance and release, and the events of the next few days have the potential to put lives in jeopardy as the players carry out their roles in this unstoppably sexy and unputdownable novel from a brilliant observer of the human condition.
