The Exile of Capri is a 1959 novel by French writer Roger Peyrefitte, based on the lives of Jacques d'Adelswärd-Fersen and Nino Cesarini.[1]

Plot Summary

The book starts with a handsome Frenchman in his early 30s meeting a beautiful young seventeen-year-old French boy on the crest of Vesuvius in 1897. They befriend at first sight, and each starts to suspect that they have something more in common than a love for climbing mountains.[2]
