About this ebook
The record of an extended visit to Florence, Venice, Naples, and Rome that the famous novelist and his family made in 1844, this vivid and insightful travelogue focuses on the contrasts Dickens noted between the solemn grandeur of Italy’s ancient monuments and the untamed exuberance of ordinary Italian street life.

Author
Charles Dickens
Charles Dickens was born in 1812 and grew up in poverty. This experience influenced ‘Oliver Twist’, the second of his fourteen major novels, which first appeared in 1837. When he died in 1870, he was buried in Poets’ Corner in Westminster Abbey as an indication of his huge popularity as a novelist, which endures to this day.
