Présentation de l'éditeur
In this modem world of heightened fanaticism, sincerity is particularly unwelcome. For in all human affairs sincerity discovers imperfection and applies criticism. To many Italians my criticism of modern Italy may seem unwarrantedly severe. I can only answer that had I been writing of other countries, and among them my own, my Pcriticism, though applied elsewhere in the national life, rwould not have been less severe. And criticism after all, if it be founded, is only a form of diagnosis, and an essential prelude to rational cure. To be successful diagnosis must be made with affection. Despite rather be. cause of my criticism, I am fond of Italy and the Ital ians. ;I tis my desire and privilege here to thank all those persons without whom this volume could never have been writ, ten; and chiefly Victor F. Lawson, editor and publisher of I the Chicago Daily News, in whose service most of the matter contained here was gathered; Thomas Nelson Page, former American Ambassador at Rome, who stood by me (j when I needed support; I lda Roero di Cortanze, who first introduced me to her countrymen; Giuseppe Prezzolini, shrewdest of critics, and MafS oM aifii, most indulgent of friends.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, first published in the 1920s, is a meditation on the country of Italy, its people, and their history. The author, while acknowledging the poverty and political strife of the time, is awed by Italy's beauty and rich culture. The author posits that this history and culture have made the Italian people unique, with a depth of character not found elsewhere. The author examines topics as diverse as art, religion, regional differences, local customs, economics, and personal hygiene. The author argues that the Italian character is a product of the country's long and complex history, and that this character is both a strength and a weakness. This book is a fascinating and informative portrait of Italy and its people, and is sure to appeal to anyone interested in history, culture, or travel.
