About This Book

De tekst biedt reisbeschrijvingen van Napels en omgeving met aandacht voor alledaagse scènes, vervoer en sociale gewoonten. De auteur observeert de bedrijvigheid op het station, het werk van dragers en koetsiers, de kleine rijtuigjes en het onbetrouwbare tramverkeer, evenals de dagelijkse omgang met geld en de genoemde aanwezigheid van valsmunterij. Straatvermaak, marktlui en bedelaars schetsen het publieke leven. Een terugkerend thema is de sterke belangstelling voor de loterij, waarbij droominterpretaties, nummerkeuze en een levendig verslag van een openbare trekking de lokale mentaliteit en rituelen illustreren.
