In the summer of 1844, taking a break from novel-writing, the
thirty-two-year-old Charles Dickens embarked on a journey to Italy
with his wife, his five children and his young sister-in-law.
Struck by the scenery and the rapid diorama of monuments and
novelties around him, the celebrated author of Oliver Twist and A
Christmas Carol captured his experiences and impressions in vivid
detail. The result is a travelogue like no other, written by one of
the finest writers of all time. Abounding in colour and humour, and
interspersed with unforgettable set pieces, such as an eyewitness
account of the beheading of a robber in Rome and a hilarious
description of a tour guide's ruinous tumble down the slope of
Mount Vesuvius, Pictures from Italy is further proof of Charles
Dickens's genius and versatility.
