In 1844, Charles Dickens took a break from novel writing to travel through Italy for almost a year and «Pictures from Italy» is an illuminating account of his experiences there. He presents the country like a magic-lantern show, as vivid images ceaselessly appear before his — and his readers' — eyes. Italy's most famous sights are all to be found here — St Peter's in Rome, Naples, with Vesuvius smouldering in the background, the fairytale buildings and canals of Venice — but Dickens's chronicle is not simply that of a tourist. Avoiding preconceptions and stereotypes, he portrays a nation of great contrasts: between grandiose buildings and squalid poverty, and between past and present, as he observes everyday life beside ancient monuments. Combining thrilling travelogue with piercing social commentary, «Pictures from Italy» is a revealing depiction of an exciting and disquieting journey.
