Inspired by his words, Italian artist Livia Signorini plays with Dickens' sense of place, memory, and politics. The result is a brilliant contemporary dialogue with his work - a reading of history, time, and change - that renews our sense of his enduring vision. An extraordinary work that is as much about travel writing as it is about Dickens' journey to Italy itself, this handsome volume features 11 full-color gate folds.
