The legends and stories about Capri started already when the emperor Tiberius settled on the island 2000 years ago in order to enjoy his old age. The stories multiplied when tourists started visiting the island in the 19th Century and the legends still flourish. Among all the visitors there have been quite a few writers for longer or shorter periods, some even settled permanently. In this book we make a personal choice among the writers that have been inspired by Capri and contributed to the stories about Capri. We have tried to make a guide to the literary history, the literary geography and all stories about this remarkable island.
