South Wind by Norman Douglas (The Heritage Press) Classic Literature & Satire 1939 Heritage Press Edition Custom Painted Slipcase Includes Original Sandglass South Wind A Satirical Journey to Nepenthe By Norman Douglas Format Hardcover w/ Slipcase Publisher The Heritage Press Year 1939 Shifting Moralities in the Mediterranean First published in 1917, Norman Douglas's South Wind is a brilliant, witty masterpiece of social satire. The story follows Thomas Heard, a rigid and orthodox English bishop, as he visits the fictional Mediterranean island of Nepenthe (closely modeled after Capri). Exposed to the island's intoxicating "sirocco" winds and its eccentric, highly philosophical inhabitants, the bishop's structured worldview begins to dismantle and wildly reorganize. A novel of conversations, moral ambiguities, and shifting ontological viewpoints, South Wind remains a fiercely intelligent and thoroughly entertaining exploration of human nature under the influence of leisure and intellectual freedom. ★ A Unique Artifact This 1939 Heritage Press edition includes the highly prized, original Sandglass insert (Number 11K). Making this copy truly one-of-a-kind is its slipcase, which has been beautifully custom-painted with a vibrant yellow background and a striking blue flower, elevating this classic text into a unique piece of shelf art.
