About this ebook:
Het ideale eiland. Hoe harder men probeert het in beeld te brengen, des te groter de kans dat het in de golven verdwijnt om zich nooit meer te vertonen. Of omgekeerd: men omringt het met zo veel woorden en theorieën dat de zee eromheen langzaam dichtslibt, en het begeerde eiland onherkenbaar in het gewone landschap wordt opgenomen.Samensteller Maarten Asscher bracht in deze bloemlezing verhalen bijeen die met recht tot de mooiste eilandverhalen kunnen worden gerekend. Beroemde verhalen van welbekende auteurs als Edgar Allen Poe, D.H. Lawrence, Primo Levi, Louis Couperus en Harry Mülisch. Maar ook verhalen van de - ten onrechte onbekende - Turkse schrijver Sait Faik Abasiyanik en de Griekse 'eilandschrijver' Aléxandros Papadiamándis.

An acceptable diversion. The tempo was somewhat languid, and I found my mind wandering. Not poor, simply average. Perhaps more aligned with a different audience's tastes.
