In the

summer of 1844, taking a break from novel-writing, the thirty-two-year-old

Charles Dickens embarked on a long tour of Italy with his wife, his five

children and his young sister-in-law. Struck by the scenery and the rapid

diorama of monuments and novelties around him, the celebrated author of

Oliver Twist and A Christmas Carol captured his experiences and impressions

in vivid detail. The result is a travelogue like no other, written by one of

the finest writers of all time.

Abounding in colour and humour, and interspersed with unforgettable set

pieces, such as an eyewitness account of the beheading of a robber in Rome

and a hilarious description of a tour guide’s ruinous tumble down the slope

of Mount Vesuvius, Pictures from Italy is further proof of Charles Dickens’s

genius and versatility.

A literary phenomenon in his lifetime and renowned as much for his journalism and public speaking as for his novels, Charles Dickens (1812-70) now ranks as the most important Victorian writer and one of the most influential and popular authors in the English language. His memorable and vividly rendered characters and his combination of humour, trenchant satire and compassion have left an indelible mark on our collective imagination.
