Mornings in Mexico
Book (italiano):
<DIV><DIV>Much of D.H. Lawrence's life was defined by his passion for travel and it was those wanderings that gave life to some of his greatest novels. In the 1920s Lawrence travelled several times to Mexico, where he was fascinated by the clash of beauty and brutality, purity and darkness that he observed. The diverse and evocative essays that make up <I>Mornings in Mexico</I> wander from an admiring portrayal of the Indian way of life to a visit to the studio of Diego Rivera and are brightly adorned with simple and evocative details: piles of fruit in a village market, strolls in a courtyard filled with hibiscus and roses, the play of light on an adobe wall. It was during his time in Mexico that Lawrence re-wrote <I>The Plumed Serpent</I>, which is infused with his own experiences there. To read <I>Mornings in Mexico</I> is thus to discover the inspiration behind of one of Lawrence's most loved works and to be immersed in a portrait of the country like no other.</DIV></DIV>
