Recensioni
After reading this well written, quotable, but uneventful travelogue by D.H. Lawrence, I find myself wondering why British people travel. Here is Lawrence, 60 years before Paul Theroux (who I thought held the tittle of "Crankiest Travel Writer"), setting out on a whirlwind tour of Sardinia, and comp Leggi tutto
I really really liked this book! As a Sardinian I enjoyed to read the (accurate) descriptions of the places I know, it's been very interesting to read how Lawrence portrayed the city where I live. In particular, I liked the way he described those aspects of ordinary life typical of a Sardinia which
3,5 stars- English paperback Found in a seconfhsnd bookstore some years ago. Looked like it never been read. Review follows later.
I am a great fan of Corsica, but I have never visited its close neighbour Sardinia, so it was with great interest that I lighted on D.H. Lawrence's account of his visit a few years after World War I.

Sea and Sardinia is a record of a trip D. H. Lawrence took with his wife Frieda in 1921. The central character is Lawrence himself—a cranky but deeply intelligent observer of people and place. The book puts you right there—in an ancient bus lumbering through the bleak Sardinian countryside; at a fai Leggi tutto
Travel diary describing D.H.Lawrence's journey through Italy and Sardinia 100 years ago, very interesting insights and opinions about the social and cultural landscape first of all, although obviously, many will come up as a bit offensive nowadays. Good read but indeed, more suited for true D.H. Law Leggi tutto
