description: 'In these essays written not long after his elopement with Frieda von Richtofen in 1912, D. H. Lawrence recorded much of what he saw and felt as he traveled with her from Bavaria to Gargnano. The book is not autobiographical, however, nor can its contents be labelled 'travel sketches'. Most of the pieces are vivid, sensitive, masterful, often rhapsodic impressions of the Italian countryside and the Italian temper. With his genius for combining psychological perception, sociological insight, and personal enthusiasm, Lawrence transforms ordinary incidents into passages of intense beauty.'–from the 1958 Viking edition.
