Italian Hours is a collection of travel essays by the renowned American author, Henry James. Originally published in 1909, the book chronicles James' travels throughout Italy over the course of several years. Each essay is a vivid and detailed account of James' experiences in various Italian cities and regions, from the bustling streets of Rome to the tranquil countryside of Tuscany. James' writing is both insightful and poetic, as he delves into the history, culture, and people of Italy. He also offers his own personal reflections on the beauty and charm of the country, as well as his observations on the changes he witnessed during his travels. Italian Hours is a classic work of travel literature that captures the essence of Italy and its people, and continues to be celebrated for its vivid descriptions and elegant prose.There are times and places that come back yet again, but that, when the brooding tourist puts out his hand to them, meet it a little slowly, or even seem to recede a step, as if in slight fear of some liberty he may take. Surely they should know by this time that he is capable of taking none. He has his own way--he makes it all right. It now becomes just a part of the charming solicitation that it presents precisely a problem--that of giving the particular thing as much as possible without at the same time giving it, as we say, away.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
