From death in Venice as a literary trope and petrochemical curse, through the volcanoes of Naples to wine, food and environmental violence in Piedmont, Serenella Iovino explores Italy as a text where ecology and imagination meet. Examining cases where justice, society and politics interlace with stories of land and life, pollution and redemption, the book argues that literature, art and criticism are able to transform the unexpressed voices of these suffering worlds into stories of resistance and practices of liberation.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47165981720816,"sku":"9781472571670","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781472571670_p0.jpg?v=1763598377","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781472571670","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
