A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Ugrimage to the Land of Heart s Desire. EHUTTON. Un voyage dans les lienx ou Dante a re est one petpetnelle illnstntion de son pobne. A mprs It must be confessed that there is something slightly disappointing to the Dante lover at first sight in the aspect of modern Florence. He has journeyed thither as a pilgrim, hoping to discover for himself the City that the Poet so dearly loved and so passionately hated, and he is at once confronted with buildings that did not exist, at least in their present form, in the thirteenth century, with works of art that Dante never saw, and with streets through which by no possibility he could have passed. Spread out before his eyes, and visible to his most casual glance, lies the Florence of the Medicean period, the Florence of the Decadence, and the Florence of United I taly.
