As he travelled to Venice, Rome, Naples and Sicily he wrote many letters, which he later used as the basis for the Italian Journey. A journal full of fascinating observations on art and history, and the plants, landscape and the character of the local people he encountered, this is also a moving account of the psychological crisis from which Goethe emerged newly inspired to write the great works of his mature years.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBAuthor: Johann Wolfgang von GoetheTranslator: Elizabeth Mayer, W.
