A vibrant account of Lawrence’s stay among the people of Lake Garda, whose decaying lemon gardens bear witness to the twilight of a way of life centuries old. In it, Lawrence transforms ordinary incidents into passages of intense beauty, and captures the tense pre-war atmosphere. This is his first travel book.
“It was exciting to get my hands on this book of three travelogues which basically has D.H. Lawrence recording his travels through Italy during three different periods in his life, first by land, another by sea, and one ultimately ending as his own life did, below ground.I see resemblances to Cormac McCarthy. A densely-made smorgasbord of language and song.”
