«Diario di un viaggio a piedi» is Edward Lear's travel chronicle, published by Rubbettino Editore in hardback (160 pages, in Italian).
In July 1847, Edward Lear walked through the province of Reggio Calabria with his friend Proby. Over forty days he discovered forests, mountains and picturesque views, and was captivated by the inhabitants of the 'toe of Italy'. This edition revives the so-called 'Englishman's path', linked to the Aspromonte Park.
Part of the series «Viaggio in Calabria». The original work was published in 1852; this Italian edition appeared in 2009.
A read for those who enjoy classic travel literature and want to discover nineteenth-century Calabria.
Edward Lear was an English artist, illustrator, musician, author and poet, who is known mostly for his literary nonsense in poetry and prose and especially his limericks, a form he popularised but which term he never used.
