From an island, its people, and the sea: Thomas Käsbohrer explores Sicily with his small sailboat Levje – an island whose daily life is shaped by life by the sea. From the regatta of the Latin sailors in Sciacca to the salt pans of Marsala and the lives of craftsmen in Palermo, or the art of ice makers, all the way to the coasts of the neighboring island of Malta: "A Summer in Sicily" is a love letter to a rugged beauty. With the tiller in one hand and ice cream in the other, he takes his readers on board for a journey around Mount Etna and into the deep blue of the Mediterranean, guiding them through the depths – and shallows – of an island that can only be seen by those who look with their hearts. Thomas Käsbohrer is the chronicler of untold lives, finding his stories along the coasts and on the islands of the Mediterranean. It is perhaps the most beautiful way to rediscover the world.
