Sicilian Splendors: Discovering the Secret Places That Speak to the Heart Audiobook (Free)

Tradition, by means of festivals, the written term, photographs, and track, reverberates through community walls. Now, slowly shaking itself free of the Mafia, Sicily is certainly opening itself up to visitors in ways it never has before.

Sicilian Splendors explores the annals, politics, food, Mafia, and folks which John Keahey encounters throughout his travels during his go back to Sicily. Through speaking with natives and immersing himself in culture, Keahey illustrates a brand new Sicily no-one has ever talked about before. Villagers, eager to pleasant travel and leisure and impart knowing of their social history, greet Keahey for meals and drink and walk him through their winding roads. They share stories of well-known authors, such as Maria Messina, who have found inspiration in Sicily’s villages. Keahey’s never-ending attention as a traveller shines light on Sicily’s mythical mysteries and portrays the island not merely through his eyes but also through Sicily’s center.
