 The Nobel Prize nominated novelist Lawrence Durrell lived in White House Kalami, Corfu between 1936 and 1939.
The simple life and the natural beauty of Kalami bay were the ideal reasons to concentrate on writing the excellent novel “Prospero’s Cell. Durrell loved the Ionian island of Corfu, but mostly loved Kalami, which was the perfect place for his inspiration. The White House is still preserved with its traditional character at the end of Kalami bay, related with Lawrence Durrell’ s name, carrying the history of a creative part of his life.  Lawrence Durrell’s words, describing the White House that he lived, are the lively proof:
“…set like a dice in a rock already venerable with the scars of wind and water. The hill runs clear up into the sky behind it so that the cypresses and olives overhang this room in which I sit and write. We are upon a bare promontory with its beautiful clean surface of metamorphic stone covered in olive and ilex.”
“The rooms look lovely and gracious with their white-washed walls, and the few bright paintings and books. The windows give directly on the sea, so that its perpetual sighing is the rhythm of our work and our sleeping. By day it  runs golden on the ceilings, reflecting back the bright peasant rungs – a ship, a gorgon, a loom, a cypress-tree; reflecting back the warm crude pottery of our table…”
A few year ago the Municipality of Kassiopi, were Kalami and The White House is located, installed a marble plate on the entrance of the The White House in memory and honour of this famous guest that gave so much to this part of the world and to whom all are grateful. |
