QR code
"Au pays de Jésus : souvenirs d'un voyage en Palestine" by Matilde Serao is a travel narrative written in the early 20th century. The work reflects the author’s experiences and contemplations as she journeys through Palestine, seeking deeper emotional and spiritual connections to the land's rich history and sacredness. Serao’s narrative intertwines vivid descriptions of the landscapes with her introspective musings on the essence of travel and the soul of the places
she visits. The opening of the work sets the stage for Serao's voyage as she prepares to depart from Naples, revealing her mixed emotions of anticipation and trepidation. She reflects on the nature of travelers, categorizing them into various types, with a particular focus on a “sentimental traveler” who is drawn to the deeper spiritual and emotional significance of places rather than mere sights. As the ship leaves the enchanting view of Naples behind, Serao is enveloped in thoughts of longing, wonder, and self-doubt. This establishes her as a thoughtful and sensitive observer who not only seeks to explore Palestine geographically but also aims to engage with its profound spiritual narratives, enriching her experience and that of her readers.
