<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A gem for the tourist and armchair traveler alike, by the incomparable H. V. Morton. "The master of the genre." --Jan Morris<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>H.V. Morton's evocative account of his days in 1950s Rome--the fabled era of La Dolce Vita--remains an indispensable guide to what makes the Eternal City eternal. In his characteristic anecdotal style, Morton leads the reader on a well-informed and delightful journey around the city, from the Fontana di Trevi and the Colosseum to the Vatican Gardens loud with exquisite birdsong. He also takes time to consider such eternal topics as the idiosyncrasies of Italian drivers as well as the ominous possibilities behind an unusual absence of pigeons in the Piazza di San Pietro. As <i>TourismWorld.com</i> commented recently: H.V. Morton.. . .wrote of Rome with style, involvement, and passion. His book <i>In Search of Rome</i> is perhaps the definitive guide book on the Eternal City.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Henry Vollam Morton</b> was born in 1892 near Manchester, England. He became an international celebrity by scooping the world's press in the sensational discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb in the early 1920s. His newfound fame subsequently led to a series of extraordinarily popular vignettes on English city and country life, which went on to sell millions of copies worldwide. He died in South Africa in 1979 at the age of eighty-six.
