Twilight in Italy

In 1912, D H Lawrence left England for the first time.

No ordinary tourist's notebook, Twilight in Italy is a sharp-eyed and sensuous narrative.

Written when Lawrence was at the height of his creative powers, the sense of the author himself contributes much to the sense of place - a rural Italy awaiting war and industrialization.

Still stunning in its power to shock and enthrall, the landscapes and people become a backdrop to Lawrence's musings on life, nature, religion and the fate of man.
