Seven Days in New Crete

Seven Days in New Crete, also known as Watch the North Wind Rise, is a seminal future-utopian / dystopian speculative fiction novel by Robert Graves, first published in 1949. It shares many themes and ideas with Graves' The White Goddess, published a year earlier. Martin Seymour-Smith, Graves's biographer, further suggested it was autobiographical, "telling the essential story of his life between 1929 and 1947".
