Sea and Sardinia

Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Sardinia, this travel narrative captures D. H. Lawrence's journey with his wife, Frieda, through various towns including Cagliari and Nuoro. Lawrence reflects on the island's essence and its inhabitants, providing a vivid portrayal that resonates even today. The book, originally published in 1921, includes illustrations by Jan Juta and was first featured in The Dial. Lawrence's homage to local culture, particularly through his visit to Nuoro, enriches this exploration of Sardinia's landscape and spirit.
