«Le radeau de la Gorgone» is a travel book by Dominique Fernandez, published in 1988 by B. Grasset in paperback (379 pages, in French).
Sicily seen over more than twenty years of travel: volcanoes, coasts, deserts, basilicas, crypts, palaces, sulphur and salt mines, and towns that moved from feudalism to a timid democratic apprenticeship. Ferrante Ferranti provides the photographs; the island's literature, from Pirandello to Sciascia, completes the portrait.
In 1988, Le radeau de la Gorgone was awarded the Prix Méditerranée and the Brancati Prize.
For readers of travel literature interested in the history, art and customs of Sicily.
Dominique Fernandez is a French writer of novels, essays and travel books. Much of his writing explores homosexual experience and creativity. In 1982 he won the Prix Goncourt for his novel about Pier Paolo Pasolini; and in 2007 he was elected a member of the Académie Française.
