The air of Capri has had an extraordinary effect on many remarkable people down the centuries - as if the island had come to the collective decision that it was made for pleasure, a commodity that foreign visitors have always found there in spades. It was on Capri that the Emperor Tiberius built a palace where he 'gave vent to all the vices' that he hadn't been able to indulge in Rome. In the nervous days following the trial of Oscar Wilde, English homosexuals found Capri a perfect haven. And in 1919 one Capri resident even remarked on the necessity of swathing her two dogs in chastity belts...James Money's Capri, first published in 1986, is the first full social history of the island: a rambunctious tale that boasts a vivid cast of characters, usually found in various states of congress.

Excerpt from The Island of Capri The writings of Gregorovius, well known in Europe, are less familiar to American readers. This is, I believe, the first translation which has appeared in America of any of the books of this interesting writer. It is a single chapter of his charming work called "Wanderjahre in Italien." Those who may be led by its perusal to seek the other productions of this author will enjoy the same pleasure which the translator has felt in her present labor. The view of Tiberius taken by Gregorovius, though it is generally received, has, as is well known, been seriously questioned by recent scholars. But the translator has not felt at liberty to modify the expressions of the author on this subject. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice "Pagan Light is mesmerizing. Every detail is compelling. I felt I was reading a family history of a family far more interesting than mine." --Edmund White, author of Our Young Man A rich, intimate embrace of Capri, which was a magnet for artistic renegades and a place of erotic refuge 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 d’Adelswärd-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 astonishingly vivid characters. Grounded in a deep intimacy with Capri and full of captivating anecdotes, Jamie James’s Pagan Light tells how a tiny island served as a wildly permissive haven for people—queer, criminal, sick, marginalized, and simply crazy—who had nowhere else to go.

"Umberto d'Aniello and Claretta Cerio share a love for Capri, the Italian island in the Gulf of Naples. Both d'Aniello and Cerio are natives of the island and, in this book, they express their passion for Capri through their chosen metiers. The island's most renowned photographer, d'Aniello takes dazzling black and white images of the island's grottoes and cliffs, its jetsetters and trendy beaches, its ancient palaces, churches and cemeteries and the people who live out their daily lives against this most romantic of backdrops. Writer Claretta Cerio lends her distinctive voice to the book, and offers a uniquely personal take on island life. Together, these words and images create a love-letter to a place whose history and beauty have made it one of the world's most magical locales."--Amazon.com.
