Pictures from Italy
Autor Charles Dickens Ilustrat de Livia Signorinien Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 iul 2012 – vârsta de la 11 ani
"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.

Notă biografică
Charles Dickens (1812–1870), one of the greatest British novelists of all time was also a journalist, an actor and a curious observer of the streets. In his novels, essays and journalism he brought to life the momentous nineteenth century, captive to commerce and greed, science and progress, conquest and colonialism. Human oddities, frailty, greed, sorrow and sentiment, the poor, meek and the laboring moved him. Acts of time and history, mortality and the compassion that may yet redeem us absorbed his attention and got written into his extraordinary fiction.
