A Traveller In Rome
Autor H. V. Mortonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 dec 2002
H.V.
Morton's
evocative
account
of
his
days
in
1950s
Rome—the
fabled
era
of
La
Dolce
Vita—remains
an
indispensable
guide
to
what
makes
the
Eternal
City
eternal.
In
his
characteristic
anecdotal
style,
Morton
leads
the
reader
on
a
well-informed
and
delightful
journey
around
the
city,
from
the
Fontana
di
Trevi
and
the
Colosseum
to
the
Vatican
Gardens
loud
with
exquisite
birdsong.
He
also
takes
time
to
consider
such
eternal
topics
as
the
idiosyncrasies
of
Italian
drivers
as
well
as
the
ominous
possibilities
behind
an
unusual
absence
of
pigeons
in
the
Piazza
di
San
Pietro.
