In 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. This
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. With sensuous
descriptions of late harvests, darkening days and fragile ancient
traditions, Twilight in Italy is suffused with nostalgia and
premonition. For, 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.
