South Wind by Norman Douglas
"South Wind" by Norman Douglas is a novel published in 1917. Set on the fictional Mediterranean island of Nepenthe, it follows Bishop Thomas Heard during twelve days that challenge his moral convictions. The island's atmosphere, influenced by the sirocco wind, erodes decency and propriety among its colorful residents and visitors. Steeped in philosophical hedonism, the novel sparked considerable debate with its discussions of moral and sexual issues, becoming Douglas's only successful work
of fiction and inspiring a generation of writers. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
