NOTE DE L'ÉDITEUR : In January 1921, D.H. Lawrence and his wife Frieda visited Sardinia. Although the trip lasted only nine days, Lawrence wrote an intriguing account of Sardinian life that not only evokes the place, people, local customs and wildlife but is also deeply revealing about the writer himself.

Studded with metaphoric and symbolic descriptions, the book is transfused with the author's anger and joy. His prejudices and his political prophecies make “ Sea and Sardinia ” a unique and dynamic piece of travel writing.

This edition restores censored passages and corrects corrupt textual readings to reveal for the first time the book Lawrence himself called “ A marvel of veracity ”.
