A timeless description of the beautiful island of Sicily by one of the
great writers of Italy. After forty years Edmondo De Amicis, author of the wonderful Cuore (Heart), returns to
Sicily for a grand tour of the island. Keen observer of both places and
people, De Amicis gives us flowing accounts of its landscapes, history,
and people. At each point in the journey, Messina, Palermo, the
interior, the coastlines, Catania, Syracuse, and Taormina, he combines
social and historical information with just enough detail to make you
feel as though you are his traveling companion. Filled with rich
metaphors, you will smell the fresh Sicilian air, feel the Sicilian sun
on your face, and hear the Sicilian chatter on the busy streets. Step
back in time and tour the island as it was in 1908 with a master
narrator as your guide.
