What wonderful places there are to see and experience in Italy and Germany. The architecture, the food and the people. How lovely to share all this with the person you love the most in the world!

The book is a beautifully written and picturesque travel memoir, and also Shelley’s last published work. Her narratives are reminiscent of the travels she took some twenty years ago with her now deceased husband, saturating her language with melancholia and sorrow.

Touching upon themes like depression, politics, revolutionary talk and religion, Shelley’s "Rambles" are both an affluent non-fiction piece and a memento on the author’s memory shelf. Mary Shelley was a renowned English novelist, essay and short story writer, biographer, and editor of prose and poetry alike. A voracious reader of all kind of literature, Shelley is one of the major Romantic figures, earning her place as a female writer among the male dominated literary status quo. Best known for her 1818 Gothic masterpiece 'Frankenstein', There have been so many adaptations of it that it is impossible to name them all. The Frankenstein movie from 1994 was very popular starring Robert de Niro, Kenneth Branagh and John Cleese. A 2015 version called Victor Frankenstein stars none other than Daniel Radcliffe, the very famous Harry Potter! Her works also include the apocalyptic novel 'The Last Man' and the historical narrative 'Valperga'. Despite her prolific career, she was mostly remembered as the wife of Percy Bysshe Shelley, one of the leading names in English Romanticism.
