Italian Scenery (dickens Special)

About This Novel

In 1844, Dickens took a break from the hard work of novel writing and took his family to France and Italy for a vacation. He originally planned to take a few months' rest, but actually stayed in Italy for nearly a year. They visited some of Italy's most famous sites: Genoa, Rome, Naples (where Mount Vesuvius was still smoldering), Florence and Venice. In his travel notes, Dickens described a country of great contrast: the majestic architecture and the decay of the city, and the daily life of contemporary people next to ancient ruins. What interested him most was the colorful street life in Italy, especially the costumes, cross-dressing and vitality of the Roman Carnival.
