Synopsis
"A whimsical cross between a fairy tale and a travelogue. . . This version includes beautiful illustrated collages by the Italian artist Livia Signorini." - 'T, The New York Times Style Magazine' "It is no wonder that Signorini was moved to assemble collages that embrace the span of time that clearly resonated with Dickens as he explored Italy. Images from antiquarian books cozy up to Photoshop embellishments like enlarged rigatoni, made even more impressive by the gatefold pages across which these compositions spread, complementing Dickens's running theme of the moment being everything and nothing, honoring the poignancy of stone, water, light, and shadow." - "Imprint," 'Print' Magazine 'Pictures from Italy', one of Charles Dickens' earlier works, is a whimsical foray into the twin worlds of travel and the imagination. Italian artist Livia Signorini plays with Dickens' sense of place, memory, and politics. The result is a brilliant contemporary dialogue with his work that renews our sense of his enduring vision. An extraordinary work that is as much about travel writing as it is about Dickens' journey to Italy itself, this handsome volume features 11 full-color gate folds.US Grade Level Equivalent: 7-8+US Guided Reading Level: ZLexile® Measure: 1200L, * Although seldom overtly political, 'Pictures from Italy' often touches on the corruption and cruelty of Italian history, the grinding poverty and a sense of continuing oppression lurking just below the surface., "Dusts off an early Dickens work, a whimsical cross between a fairy tale and a travelogue covering his trips to Italy and France with his family in the 1840s. This version includes beautiful illustrated collages by the Italian artist Livia Signorini." - T, The New York Times Style Magazine Pictures from Italy is one of Charles Dickens' earlier works, a fantastic and whimsical foray into the twin worlds of travel and the imagination. Inspired by his words, Italian artist Livia Signorini plays with Dickens' sense of place, memory, and politics. The result is a brilliant contemporary dialogue with his work -- a reading of history, time, and change -- that renews our sense of his enduring vision. An extraordinary work that is as much about travel writing as it is about Dickens' journey to Italy itself, this handsome volume features 11 full-color gate folds and will appeal to fans of the Victorian novel, travel buffs, and art lovers alike.
