Capa do Charles Dickens: Pictures from Italy (ePUB)

It is a travelogue, written in 1846. Illuminating account of a journey undertaken by Charles Dickens and his family through Italy in 1844.Dickens was much impressed by the colourful customs and personages that he encountered. He presents the country like a magic-lantern show, as vivid images ceaselessly appear before his and his readers’ eyes. 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 besides ancient monuments. Combining thrilling travelogue with piercing social commentary, the book is a revealing depiction of an exciting journey. In reading about his travels through Italy, we also gain insight into the character of Charles Dickens: his reaction to the Carnival, to the great works of art that he viewed. Though not a biography, Pictures from Italy offers a view into the mind and personality of Charles Dickens.
