Scarce. In addition to his consular duties at the Austrian embassy at Naples, Hadrava was a part-time composer and, as this work attests, active in archaeology. Indeed, his reputation in Capri has suffered somewhat as he is closely associated with the removal of antiquities from the island. The book includes a beautiful folding map of Capri.
