Sea and Sardinia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sea and Sardinia is a travel book by the English writer D. H.

Lawrence. It describes a brief excursion undertaken in January 1921
by Lawrence and Frieda, his wife a.k.a. Queen Bee, from Taormina
in Sicily to the interior of Sardinia. They visited Cagliari, Mandas,
Sorgono, and Nuoro. His visit to Nuoro was a kind of homage to
Grazia Deledda but involved no personal encounter. Despite the
brevity of his visit, Lawrence distils an essence of the island and its
people that is still recognisable today. Extracts were originally
printed in The Dial during October and November 1921 and the
book was first published in New York, USA in 1921 by Thomas
Seltzer, with illustrations by Jan Juta. A British edition, published by
Martin Secker, came out in April 1923.
