À propos de cet ebook
This book contains D. H. Lawrence’s 1916 travel book, "Twilight in Italy". Lawrence’s first attempt at travel writing, it contains details about his voyage through Germany, the Alps, and Italy. Although fundamentally a travel book, "Twilight in Italy" is also a philosophic journey through alien cultures that deals heavily with the author’s own personal experiences when confronted with magnificent landscapes and mountains. This book is highly recommended for lovers of interesting travel writing, and it is not to be missed by fans and collectors of Lawrence’s work. The chapters of this volume include: “The Crucifix Across the Mountains”, “On The Lago Di Garda”, “The Spinner and the Monks”, “The Lemon Gardens”, “The Theatre”, “San Gaudenzio”, “The Dance”, “John”, “Italians in Exile”, and “The Return Journey”. David Herbert Richards Lawrence (1885 - 1930) was an English novelist, poet, playwright, literary critic, and painter, famed as the author of "Lady Chatterley's Lover" and "Sons and Lovers". Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.
Quelques mots sur l'auteur
D(avid) H(erbert) Lawrence was born on September 11, 1885. His father was a coal miner and Lawrence grew up in a mining town in England. He always hated the mines, however, and frequently used them in his writing to represent both darkness and industrialism, which he despised because he felt it was scarring the English countryside. Lawrence attended high school and college in Nottingham and, after graduation, became a school teacher in Croyden in 1908. Although his first two novels had been unsuccessful, he turned to writing full time when a serious illness forced him to stop teaching. Lawrence spent much of his adult life abroad in Europe, particularly Italy, where he wrote some of his most significant and most controversial novels, including Sons and Lovers and Lady Chatterly's Lover. Lawrence and his wife, Frieda, who had left her first husband and her children to live with him, spent several years touring Europe and also lived in New Mexico for a time. Lawrence had been a frail child, and he suffered much of his life from tuberculosis. Eventually, he retired to a sanitorium in Nice, France. He died in France in 1930, at age 44. In his relatively short life, he produced more than 50 volumes of short stories, poems, plays, essays, travel journals, and letters, in addition to the novels for which he is best known.
