The work

Sardinia is famous for the beauty of its beaches, the crystal clearness of its seas, the goodness of its produce and the consummate skill of its craftsmen. Many people know and love its history, but only a few have been fortunate enough to visit the remains of its ancient culture and its areas of greatest natural beauty.
This book offers everyone the rare opportunity to see these places through the eyes of a keen observer and a true lover of our island.
The photographs of Gianni Sirigu, which provide the marvellous illustrations for this book, are indeed images of a rare beauty.
They portray the many aspects of the inland part of the island, far from the bustle of the more popular areas, with some unique studies of animals, plants and rock formations. But they also show us some of the most important evidence of our ancient Nuragic civilization, depicting the extraordinary way in which nature and culture coexist.
The only advice we can give you, if you want to appreciate this work to the full, is to simply abandon yourself to these evocative images. Let yourself be spirited away to these places, and guided by the writer, imagine you are going on this journey yourself. It is an exciting trip, during which you will enjoy to the full the beauty of Sardinian nature and culture, surrounded by plants, animals and magnificent rock formations.
