Italy Out of Hand: A Capricious Tour

$19.95 In Stock

With its genius for art and culture, no country is as wonderfully civilized as Italy. But seething below this surface is a shadowy history of corruption, cruelty, and the bizarre. Through stories, photographs, portraits, and artwork, Barbara Hodgson has assembled in one book a treasury of forgotten facts and legends. Italy Out of Hand is the perfect companion for those who like their truths to be stranger than fiction.

A Vancouver-based writer and designer, Barbara Hodgson is the author of the acclaimed illustrated novels The Sensualist, Hippolyte's Island, The Tattooed Map, and Lives of Shadows as well as collaborator on Paris Out of Hand.
