Written in 1908, this account of the Italian region of Abruzzi recollects its culture over the prior centuries, and the day-to-day living in the early 20th century. We visit town after town in the secluded region, with the sights and sounds of old Italian life recounted in evocative detail. Anne McDonnell attests to the fact that the rural Italians have resisted the onset of modern life, shunning the encroaching amenities and conveniences of the cosmopolitan cities. Instead they preserve their rural culture, centuries old and passed on through numerous generations. Poignant subjects include the local poetry and songs, the lively folklore, the religious events and festivals, and a history stretching back to the time of the Romans. At the time McDonnell authored her guide, the Abruzzi still carried a reputation for brigandage and banditry, with travellers avoiding the region. She debunks this; the region is safe, its people frugal, homely and honest - a visitor being waylaid by robbers a thing of the distant past. Nevertheless, some famous outlaws of the region had shocking adventures in the days of yore, which are recounted here to contrast otherwise peaceful, serene descriptions. With twelve illustrations and some musical staves, this guide offers an insightful and entertaining look at an Italy of an era gone by.

Excerpt from In the Abruzzi This is the wild land of the Abruzzi, set apart from the rest of Italy by its untamable configuration and the rigour of its winter climate. Recently it has been opened up, and is now criss-crossed by a network of excellent roads, some of them only remade after many intervening centuries; while its few railroads are veritable world wonders in the way they round the mountains, and scale the mountains, and burrow the mountains, the trains seeming to hang on by their eyelids. From Rome to Pescara on the Adriatic, you need no longer foot a step Of the way, nor trust to the Old Shaky diligences and if you would see railway enterprise in a sublimely audacious aspect, travel by the line from Terni to Aquila and Sulmona, still better from Sulmona to Castel di Sangro, the latter section being, I believe, one of the highest in Europe. But in the main, the railroads follow the ancient traditional routes Of communication, and, save for a month or two in summer, seem only to serve a few market-folks and for the transport of soldiers. Even the newer roads. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

* Pioneer on K2 and namesake of the Abruzzi Ridge * Mountaineering classic now in Legends and Lore series * Complete biography of an important explorer Grandson of the first king of Italy, Luigi Amedeo di Savoia-Aosta, or the Duke of the Abruzzi, was one of the most celebrated explorers of the early twentieth century. This biography vividly recounts not only the details of his pioneering expeditions but also the intriguing story of his personal life——including a doomed love affair with an American heiress and his more successful friendship with Vittorio Sella. The Duke’s lifelong passion for adventure began in the Italian Alps of his childhood. Having mastered the Zmutt Ridge of the Matterhorn at the age of 21, he vowed to devote himself to mountain exploration. Just three years later, in 1897, he completed the first successful ascent of Alaska’s Mount St. Elias. His 1899 attempt to be the first to the North Pole fell short of its goal, but he succeeded in going farther north than any previous expedition. A naval career did not stop him from exploring the Ruwenzori range in Africa. The Duke’s most noted achievement was undeniably his pioneering climb on K2 in 1909 on the route that bears his name: the Abruzzi Ridge. In part because of this achievement, we are thrilled to bring this classic, originally published in 1997, back into print as one of our Legends and Lore titles.
