Pictures From Italy

Pictures from Italy by Charles Dickens recounts the author’s journey through Italy in the summer of 1844, accompanied by his wife, five children, and young sister-in-law. Struck by the country’s stunning scenery and the rapid succession of monuments and novelties, Dickens documents his experiences with vivid detail and keen observation. Combining the insight of a master storyteller with the freshness of a travelogue, the work offers readers a unique glimpse of Italy through the eyes of one of literature’s greatest writers.
