Have you met the Bishop of Bampopo or Miss Wilberforce, that estimable lady with her ungovernable alcoholic weakness and her urge for public dis-robing? The pleasure awaits you, if you have not already visited Nepenthe, that fabulous island to which Norman Douglas takes you in South Wind. There you will come to know as fascinating a crowd of jaunty and shameless characters as ever were assembled on a sirocco-blown island or within the covers of a modern, sophisticated novel. South Wind, one of the oldest titles in the Modern Library series, maintains year after year an undiminished popularity. It is enjoyed by new generations with the same relish as it was by their elders.
