The French Riviera

About this book

"The French Riviera: A Literary Guide for Travellers is a reader's tour of this favoured coast, from Toulon to the Italian border, covering the lives and work of the writers who found inspiration there - from Graham Greene and W. Somerset Maugham who spent much of their lives in the region, through those whose work it dominates such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Guy de Maupassant, to those who simply lingered there. Young authors finding their voices and distinguished Nobel laureates, Ted Jone's encyclopedic work covers them all, including Louisa M. Alcott, Hans Christian Andersen, J. G. Ballard, James Boswell, William Boyd, Bertolt Brecht, Albert Camus, Casanova, Bruce Chatwin, Joseph Conrad, Charles Dickens, Ian Fleming, Andre Gide, Ernest Hemingway, Victor Hugo, Aldous Huxley, James Joyce, Rudyard Kipling, D.H. Lawrence, A.A. Milne, Vladimir Nabokov, Dorothy Parker, Sylvia Plath, Jean-Paul Sarte, George Bernard Shaw, Alan Sillitoe, Robert Louis Stevenson, Anton Tchekhov, Leo Tolstoi, Evelyn Waugh, H.G. Wells, Oscar Wilde, P.G. Wodehouse, Virginia Woolf, W.B. Yeats and countless others."--BOOK JACKET.
