Having found London’s wartime bureaucracy no use for his talents, Norman Douglas drifts south and travels by himself through Mentone, Levanto, Siena, Pisa, Viareggio and Rome. He records meals, wine, chance companions, old books and local quarrels with the same digressive, opinionated pleasure, sparing neither officials nor tourists.
Urbane, cranky travel writing by the author of South Wind, ideal for anyone who loves Italy off the main road. Download the free EPUB.
