Lawrence's first travel book and an important insight into the roots of his literary genius.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1912, a young D.H. Lawrence left England for the first time and travelled to northern Italy. He spent nearly a year on the shores of Lake Garda, lodged in elegantly decaying houses set amid lemon groves and surrounded by the fading life of traditional Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a travel book unlike any other, where landscapes and people are backdrops to Lawrence's deeper wanderings: into philosophy, opinion, life, nature, religion and the fate of man.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith sensuous descriptions of late harvests, darkening days and fragile ancient traditions, \"Twilight in Italy\" is suffused with nostalgia and premonition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor, looming over the idyll of rural Italy hover dark spectres: the arrival of the industrial age and the brewing storm of World War I, upheavals that would change the face of Europe forever.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"D.H.
