Items related to Sea and Sardinia (Classic, 20th-Century, Penguin)
An intriguing account of Sicilian life that reveals as much about the writer as the place, people, and customs it describes
Written after the First World War when he was living in Sicily, Sea and Sardinia records Lawrence's journey to Sardinia and back in January 1921. It reveals his delighted response to a new landscape and people and his uncanny ability to transmute the spirit of place into literary art. Like his other travel writings the book is also a shrewd inquiry into the political and social values of an era which saw the rise of communism and fascism. This edition restores censored pasages and corrects corrupt textual readings to reveal the book Lawrence himself called "a marvel of veracity."

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In January 1921, D.H. Lawrence and his wife Frieda visited Sardinia. Although the trip lasted only nine days, Lawrence wrote an intriguing account of Sicilian life that not only evokes the place, people, and local customs but is also deeply revealing about the writer himself. Remarkable for its metaphoric and symbolic descriptions, the book is transfused with the author's anger and joy. His prejudices and his political prophecies make Sea and Sardinia a unique and dynamic piece of travel writing. Records the author's journey to Sardinia and back in January 1921. This title reveals author's delighted response to a landscape and people and his uncanny ability to transmute the spirit of place into literary art. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780141180762
