Dark Heart of Italy by Tobias Jones
In 1999, Tobias Jones emigrated to Italy, expecting to discover the pastoral bliss described by centuries of foreign visitors. Instead, he discovered a very different country, besieged by unfathomable terrorism and deep-seated paranoia. This work is Jones' account of his three-year voyage across the Italian peninsula.
"'In his superb appraisal of appraisal Italy, Tobias Jones investigates the country's kickback and bribery culture, as well as its football, film and food fads' Evening Standard"
Tobias Jones studied at Jesus College, Oxford. He was on the staff of the London Review of Books and the Independent on Sunday before moving to Parma in 1999. The original edition of The Dark Heart of Italy was published to great acclaim in 2003.
