Twilight in Italy TREDITION CLASSICS David Herbert Lawrence Books
When I finished the last page, I immediately went to page one and started reading this book again.Written in 1916, during the last part of WW One, D.H. Lawrence shares his observations mostly in Italy on how the industrial age is teetering on the brink of changing the face of Italy - and the rest of Europe forever; and Lawrence mourns for what will be lost.
He introduces us to the people and their disappearing life style. He tells us how they live, and think, and what they believe. The old ways are contrasted with how the young adults live, and think and what they believe. Lawrence describes in detail the landscapes, the weather, the feel of the different places he visits, the aura of the old and the new, how all this effects the people.
The key thing that compels me to come back to this book, and haunts me since I finished it the first time is Lawrence's ability
to describe any subject he is focusing on with the brightest clarity I have ever encountered. He hiked through part of Switzerland, Germany and a bit of Austria and gives us much time with him in Italy. Along this entire journey he has an ability to totally absorb the essence of the people, the changes taking place, the yesterday's and the tomorrow's and he does not just translate them to his readers he infuses us with the knowing of these people and places as if we had been part of the knowing of them for years. Meaning the amount of time it takes to know a place and people intimately. He lets us look in a crystal ball and we see and know the old ways and see and know what the new ways will change. It is all here in Lawrence's amazing writings, captured forever like in a time capsule.
Phenomenal writing, I am hooked.

Twilight in Italy TREDITION CLASSICS David Herbert Lawrence Books Reviews
I would give this book a three star because it failed to get me involved with anything in the text. The writing is well done but the author is evidently a very young writer who has many preconceived notions about the people who are described in his book. This book gives the reader a glimpse of a forgotten time and explains the writer's chagrin with the industrialized world . Worth reading as a short description of how Italy and the surrounding countryside were agrarian prior to a more modern time.
Re-acquainting myself with a very engaging and memorable short story of a very European journey, written by an observant author.
Whatever method was used to get the book from print to is very good. The book is free from error, which is the reason for the 3 stars, as I'd give the book itself a 1 or 2. Lawrence is definitely an example of a writer who achieved acclaim because of when he wrote. Unfortunately, what was noteworthy then for being fresh, even shocking, now appears simply florid and overheated. OK as a period piece, but more an anthropological curiosity, with Lawrence himself as the subject, than a read to be enjoyed.
Not sons and lovers but part of what made dh lawrence who he was
Very interesting guide to the hearts of people relating to the landscape.
good read classic
I found myself reading, rereading, and rereading aloud, passages from this beautiful work. Lawrence writes poetically--never mind the sportswriters' rule against repeating the same word in a sentence ("Angels," "Seraphs," "Halos")--this author uses "dark" numerous times in a single paragraph. I felt as though I were in northern Italy with him. Incredible. Also recommended are his other travel works, such as Sea and Sardinia and Mornings in Mexico.
When I finished the last page, I immediately went to page one and started reading this book again.
