Journey toward the Cradle of Mankind (Marlboro Travel Series) [Idioma Inglés] - Tapa blanda

"A little treasure, worth twice the price." --Kirkus Reviews "An odd little book that is a joy to read." --Booklist

The distinguished Italian poet Guido Gozzano (1883-1916) embarked for India in February 1912, ostensibly to treat his tuberculosis. His trip lasted three months and, all told, he spent six weeks on the subcontinent. His dispatches home for a newspaper are collected and published here in English for the first time. The extent of Gozzano's travels--to Ceylon, Goa, Agra, Jaipur--makes one wonder how the writer could visit all or even most of the places he so vividly describes. "I did not honestly think I would find so much of it intact," the spellbound Gozzano repeats to himself, before what he must shortly recognize as prodigious evidence of decay.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
