Mornings In Mexico - Etruscan Places

Mornings in Mexico – Etruscan Places (1975) by D.H. Lawrence – Sold by Crappy Old Books

Two continents, one restless spirit. In Mornings in Mexico – Etruscan Places, the ever-wandering D.H. Lawrence swaps fiction for fiercely lyrical travel writing, capturing the colours, rhythms, and ruins of the wider world with a novelist’s eye and a poet’s soul.

First penned in the 1920s and reissued together by Penguin in this battered 1975 edition, these essays chart Lawrence’s journeys through the sun-soaked landscapes of Mexico and the ancient tombs of Italy’s Etruscan past. From hummingbirds and haciendas to crypts and crumbling frescoes, Lawrence mixes anthropology with unfiltered opinion and a stubborn distrust of modernity. It’s insightful, evocative, and occasionally gloriously cranky.

Condition: Slightly foxed, cover vaguely sunburnt—much like the author. Smells faintly of long bus journeys and unearned nostalgia.

Crappy Old Books: Because sometimes a scuffed spine and some outdated cultural takes are half the charm.

Includes a whole bunch of junk including book marks and an out of date book of vouchers, totalling £100, from Waterstones for books.
