Last Letters from Hav

In the last months of 1985, Jan Morris was commissioned by an American magazine to write a series of letters from Hav. She remained there until the day of the invasion, and this book is the result. It is the first substantial portrait ever drawn of a city which enthralled such literary visitors as Marco Polo, Mark Twain, Tolstoy and D.H. Lawrence, but which remains, thanks to its political and geographical situation - and entirely imaginary status - virtually unknown to ordinary travellers.
