I read The Story of San Michele when I was in my thirties, and dreamed of finding or building a white house soaked in light.
Axel Munthe loved the sun.
In one day, in his fifties, Munthe's life changed - a dim eye, detached retina, led to near blindness.
He moved from homes of light to a dim tower, a curtained palace.
And yet, knowing it may have led to his loss of eyesight, he never abandoned his passion for sunlight.
