The bestselling author of Italian Neighbors returns with a wry and revealing portrait of Italian life--by riding its trains.
As Parks writes, To see the country by train is to consider the crux of the essential Italian dilemma: Is Italy part of the modern world, or not?.
Most of all, Italian Ways is an entertaining attempt to capture the essence of modern Italy.
Italian Ways also explores how trains helped build Italy and how their development reflects Italians\' sense of themselves from Garibaldi to Mussolini to Berlusconi and beyond.
Through memorable encounters with ordinary Italians--conductors and ticket collectors, priests and prostitutes, scholars and lovers, gypsies and immigrants--Parks captures what makes Italian life distinctive: an obsession with speed but an acceptance of slower, older ways; a blind eye toward brutal architecture amid grand monuments; and an undying love of a good argument and the perfect cappuccino.
Parks begins as any traveler might: A train is a train is a train, isn\'t it? But soon he turns his novelist\'s eye to the details, and as he journeys through majestic Milano Centrale station or on the newest high-speed rail line, he delivers a uniquely insightful portrait of Italy.
