Divlje masline : život na Mallorci s Robertom Gravesom

William Graves

With an exquisite sense of detail, this book is also a fascinating portrait of Robert Graves himself, his muses and his literary and artistic following, as well as a study that reveals to us how the son of a famous father finds his own identity.

In 1946, as a five-year-old, William Graves was taken from England to Mallorca to a magical mountain village called Deyá, where his father—poet Robert Graves, author of international successes such as the historical novel I, Claudia and impressive literary and historical studies such as Greek Myths or Bijale goddesses—returned with his new family to the place where he lived before the war with the American poet Laura Riding.

Young William grew up in the shadow of the great writer, in a completely English household, at the same time tasting life in Mallorca, which has hardly changed for centuries. With an exquisite sense of detail and an undisguised fascination with the setting, this book is also a fascinating portrait of Robert Graves himself, his muses and his literary and artistic following, as well as a study that reveals to us how the son of a famous father finds his own identity.

In Wild Olives, William, the eldest son of Robert Graves' second marriage, gives us a fascinating, personal account of life with his father after the family's return to Majorca—all local intrigue, disputes, and gossip interwoven with vivid descriptions of the mental processes by which Graves moved with ease in his imagination. history and with which he intuitively found hidden connections, like a kind of literary Sherlock Holmes.
