NOTE DE L'ÉDITEUR : In January 1921, D.H. Lawrence and
his wife Frieda visited Sardinia. Although the trip lasted only
nine days, Lawrence wrote an intriguing account of Sardinian
life that not only evokes the place, people, local customs and
wildlife but is also deeply revealing about the writer himself.
Studded with metaphoric and symbolic
descriptions, the book is transfused with the author's anger
and joy. His prejudices and his political prophecies make « Sea
and Sardinia » a unique and dynamic piece of travel
writing.
This edition restores censored
passages and corrects corrupt textual readings to reveal for
the first time the book Lawrence himself called « A
marvel of veracity ».
