The distinguished Italian poet Guido Gozzano (1883-1916) embarked for India in February 1912, ostensibly to treat his tuberculosis. His trip lasted three months and, all told, he spent six weeks on the subcontinent. His dispatches home for a newspaper are collected and published here in English for the first time.

"I did not honestly think I would find so much of it intact," the spellbound Gozzano repeats to himself, before what he must shortly recognize as prodigious evidence of decay.

ricordata da Cook, né da Loti, perché nessuna società di navigazione vi fa scalo, perché mi spinge verso di lei un sonetto di De Heredia, indimenticabile, perché pochi nomi turbavano la mia fantasia adolescente quanto il nome di Goa: Goa la Dourada."
"Madama Angot… È veramente esistita? In quest’ora, tra queste mura la sua gaia figura è più viva
che mai, serve a consolare d’ogni troppo leopardiana tristezza. Dinanzi alle ruine troppo riverite è
consigliabile l’irriverenza. Meglio schernire la fatalità che preme uomini e cose, canticchiando le
strofe d’un melodramma giocoso…"
