Opis

Guido Gozzano (1883-1916), a distinguished Italian poet of the early twentieth century, embarked for India in February 1912, ostensibly to treat the tuberculosis he would die from a few years later. For factual details Gozzano relied on half a dozen sources, notably Pierre Loti and Paola Mentegazza. But what counts in his book is what comes to us straight from him: a tale of enchantment.
