About this ebook
English novelist George Gissing traveled to southern Italy to walk in the footsteps of ancient poets, monks, and generals. A deeply personal work, which reveals his love of books and history, this is a vivid account of the region’s poverty and hardship at the turn of the nineteenth century, as well as its glorious past.
