The City of Florence: Historical Vistas & Personal… Tekijä: R. W. B. Lewis
A fine if nostalgic look at Florence from an acclaimed American biographer and member of the 20th century transcontinental elite who lived in Florence and Connecticut. I need to return to smell the stones.

The Jameses: A Family Narrative Tekijä: R. W. B. Lewis
Lewis covers the James family from 18th century Ireland up to the death of novelist Henry James in 1916. It is an impressive cast of characters. At best I could relate to Henry James, Sr., a man who railed against any model of institutionalized or organized religion. He spent a better part of his life on a quest to understand God, spirituality, and redemption. At times I found the rest of the narrative drawn out and too expansive. I have to admit, I did not finish.
