Description

If you ever wanted something new from a travel guide – then this could be the answer. A "Traveller's Companion" for your visit to Tuscany, featuring a vivid selection from biographies, novels, letters, poems, diaries and memoirs. The Florence & Tuscany Companion includes 20 hidden gems: the wit of Mark Twain at the Uffizi; Leonardo da Vinci’s Thoughts on Art and Life (including his theories on how to die happy and why the sky is blue); An essay on the planets by Galileo (which the Pope forced him to recant on pain of death); EM Forster on the "Galaxy of Wonders" in the Santa Croce; Aldous Huxley at the infamous Palio horserace; DH Lawrence on the beauty of Michelangelo’s David; a history of Florence by Macchiavelli; Byron’s Stanzas on the road from Florence; and a guide to living the good life in a Tuscan Villa by Pliny. It even includes essays from the original Baedeker Guide. Over 58,000 words of selected literary, scientific and historic brilliance. The perfect companion.
