About this product

Product Information

Twenty-seven years in the making, Terra Cognita chronicles the author?s continual travels?and problematic (if still, at times, ecstatic) encounters?in the ?bel paese.? Across nine richly evocative essays, Chad Davidson investigates the seemingly never-ending fascination that travelers have with Italy. As much a meditation on what home and away mean as it is a travel memoir, Terra Cognita finds literary predecessors such as Dante and Italo Calvino crowding in alongside more accustomed sights from travel shows, Hollywood films, and tourist guides. Though each essay departs from a particular location in Italy and remains rooted in the author?s own history there, the book ultimately becomes less about those places and more about the placelessness any such journey can engender, how?even after flying across an ocean and landing in a foreign country?we are still hopelessly and fully ourselves.

Reviews
Terra Cognita will inspire readers to want to travel to Italy, and, by all means, discover their own truths, as well as find the astute meaningfulness that Davidson has wrought., In Terra Cognita, Chad Davidson clears a space for deeper, richer, far more profound questions and insights about Italy by seeing into the very conditions that render our sight dull and conventional., It's impossible to imagine a better tour guide than Chad Davidson to show us the riches and ruins of Italy. In each of these bustling essays, Davidson veers through Italian cities and towns, brilliantly exploring not only each boots-on-the-ground place but also what lingers in the tourist's memory long after returning home., ?In Terra Cognita, Chad Davidson clears a space for deeper, richer, far more profound questions and insights about Italy by seeing into the very conditions that render our sight dull and conventional.?, Davidson's skillful prose, deeply invested with humor and pathos, will complicate what you know--and what you think you know--about Italy.
