Most famously, it included renowned singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen and his partner Marianne Ihlen, as well as many other artists and writers including the Australian literary couple, Charmian Clift and George Johnston, who fostered this fabled colony.Drawing on many previously unseen letters, manuscripts and diaries, and richly illustrated by the eyewitness photographs of LIFE magazine photo-journalist James Burke, Half the Perfect World reveals the private lives and relationships of the Hydra expatriates. It charts the promise of a creative life that drew many of them to the island, and documents the fracturing of the community as it came under pressure from personal ambitions and wider social changes. For all the unrealised youthful ambitions, internal strife and personal tragedy that attends this story, the authors nonetheless find that the example of these writers, dreamers and drifters continues to resonate and inspire." -- Publisher's website. 600 10 $a Clift, Charmian. 600 10 $a Johnston, George Henry, $d 1912-1970. 600 10 $a Cohen, Leonard, $d 1934-2016. 600 17 $a Clift, Charmian. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00180728 600 17 $a Cohen, Leonard, $d 1934-2016. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00032974 600 17 $a Johnston, George Henry, $d 1912-1970. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00093549 650 0 $a Authors, Australian $y 20th century $v Biography. 650 0 $a Artists $z Hydra Island $z Hydra Island $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Hydra Island (Greece) 700 1 $a Dalziell, Tanya, $d 1973- $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190502024903.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1A203B56550D11E9884C074097128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
