The Mediterranean's second largest island is not really an islandat all: it is a continent in miniature. As D.H. Lawrence put it:"One has a feeling of space which is missing in Italy... it is likefreedom itself." Sardinia is the home of the bandits who oncecalled the shots from their notorious mountain stronghold ofOrgosolo. It is also the occasional home of the jet-setters whoflock to the discreet attractions of the Costa Smeralda.Traditionally the island had a history of foreign rule. ThePhoenicians were followed by the Romans, the Arabs, the Spanish - who remained for centuries - and ﬁnally the Italians. Thesedays its spectacular scenery and unspoilt vistas, whether in themountains of the wild Barbagia or along the rugged coast, havemade the island increasingly popular with visitors.The expert writers and photographers behind Insight Guide:Sardinia have assembled a lavishly illustrated and compellinglytopical guide. With full-colour maps, tips on travel, accommodation and restaurants, it is both a practical and an inspiring book.
