| Description: | South Wind is set on an imaginary island called Nepenthe, located off the coast of Italy and serves as a thinly disguised description of Capri and its residents and visitors. The narrative concerns twelve days during which Thomas Heard, a bishop returning to England from his diocese in Africa, yields his moral vigour to various influences. Philosophical hedonism pervades much of Douglas’s writing, and the novel’s discussion of moral and sexual issues caused considerable debate and made it a best seller.
