A collector’s edition of a world-historical classic
In 1907, Pavel Muratov, a budding littÉrateur and art connoisseur from Moscow, set off for Italy with his wife, three friends, and a dozen books on the Italian Renaissance. This journey, the first of over a dozen he would make in a decade, inspired an obsession with the country’s art and culture that would produce, in the words of Clive James, “one of the most dazzling books of its type ever written.” First published in Russian between 1911 and 1924, Evocations of Italy(Obrazy Italii) chronicles Muratov’s encounters with the art, myth, and land of Italy. A classic of the Silver Age, it built on the tradition of Italian travelogues by Goethe, Stendhal, John Ruskin, and Henry James and defined the idea of Italy for generations of Russian artists and writers. Finally available in English, this three-volume collector's edition illuminates the personalities, conditions, and dreams that gave us the Italian Renaissance. At once intimate and authoritative, and here richly illustrated with photographs that echo Muratov’s shimmering juxtapositions of image and sensation, Evocations of Italy is as timely and compelling a guide today as it was a hundred years ago.
