Combining travel narrative, history and reflection on contemporary Mediterranean life, Woodsworth finds an intimacy, a garrulous warmth and a near-tribal sociability that belongs uniquely to the cities on the fringe of the Mediterranean. This sea should not be seen as an empty space surrounded by Europe, Asia and Africa, but as a single entity, a place from whose coastlines people look not outwards, to this country or that capital, but inwards over the water to each other. Setting out from Alexandria on a journey marked by lively, unpredictable encounters, Nicholas Woodsworth discovers traces of an older, more sophisticated existence and asks what these vibrant, cosmopolitan cities and their inhabitants owe to the sea.
