George Gissing
(4,25 Sterne; 2 Bewertungen)
In Italy, everything is possible. Or, at least, much more than in the oppressive social order of the Victorian era. A group of British expatriates go to tour the country and do things they might live to either bless or regret. This book details their adventures and search of identity. The central question remains clear: can one be completely free? And, if so, is the price too high? ( Stav Nisser.) (14 hr 7 min)

A Pretty Good Novel
(4 Sterne)
Once again, I seemed to have liked the novel more than other reviewers. It demonstrates in many ways the progress of Gissing's attitudes about society and how the artist and free thinkers can negotiate a place in it.
