Twilight in Italy
'Twilight in Italy' Summary
"Twilight in Italy" is a travelogue in which D. H. Lawrence recounts his journeys through the picturesque Lago di Garda region. As Lawrence explores the region's captivating natural beauty, he delves into the lives and customs of the local people, engaging in intimate encounters that shed light on their connection to the land. His musings on the enduring impact of modernism on the region's landscape, coupled with his insightful observations on the human condition, paint a poignant portrait of a rapidly changing world. While Lawrence's reflections on the nature of human connection and the inevitability of change are infused with a sense of longing for a simpler, more traditional existence, his keen observations and lyrical prose offer a captivating glimpse into the soul of Italy's northern countryside during the early 20th century.Book Details
