In 1844 the English storyteller headed abroad for a family vacation. Dickens's travelogue recounts sojourns in Genoa, Rome, Florence, Venice, and Naples - where Vesuvius was still smoldering from its latest eruption. These evocative accounts highlight the region's dramatic contrasts, from glorious buildings towering above blighted streets to vignettes of modern life amid ancient monuments.
