Autorenporträt
Norman Douglas was a British writer and traveler who lived from 1868 to 1952. He is best known for his travel writing, particularly his book "Old Calabria," which explores the rugged and remote region of southern Italy. Born in Austria to a wealthy Scottish family, Douglas was educated in England and Germany before embarking on a career as a diplomat. However, he was forced to resign from the British Foreign Service in 1898 after being caught in a scandal involving a young boy. After leaving the diplomatic corps, Douglas turned to write and published his first book, "Siren Land," in 1911. He went on to write several more books, including "Fountains in the Sand" and "South Wind," but it was "Old Calabria" that cemented his reputation as a travel writer. In "Old Calabria," Douglas describes his travels through the largely forgotten region of Calabria in southern Italy, painting a vivid picture of the landscape, people, and culture of this rugged and isolated part of the country. His writing is marked by a deep appreciation for the beauty of the natural world and a fascination with the customs and traditions of the people he encounters.
