""Earthwork Out Of Tuscany"" is a non-fiction book written by Maurice Hewlett. The book is a travelogue that describes the author's journey through Tuscany, Italy.

The book is divided into chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of Tuscany, such as the countryside, the cities, and the art. Hewlett's writing is poetic and evocative, capturing the beauty and charm of Tuscany through his words. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in travel writing or Italian culture.You are not to suppose that she has not paid for all this, the red Siena. None of it is absolved; it is there floating vaguely in the atmosphere. It chokes the gully-trap streets in August when the air is like a hot bath; it wails round the corners on stormy nights and you hear it battling among the towers overhead, buffeting the stained walls of criminal old palaces and churches grown hoary in iniquity--so many half-embodied centuries of deadly sin gnawing their spleens or shrieking their infamous carouse over again. So at least I found it. Without baring myself to the charge of any sneaking kindness for bloodshedding, I may own to the fascination of the precipitous fortress-town huddled red and grey on its three red crags.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
