Sardinia Italy books D H Lawrence - Sea and Sardinia -A marvellous, wry account of a trip to Sardinia, evoking both the charms and travails of the then-remote island, and the personality of the author. It's a pleasingly exaggerated, accessible portrait of life on the island, circa 1921

The historical town of Nuoro in Sardinia gives ambient to this sharp and brilliantly translated novel by Sebastiano Satta: The Day of The Judgement. Don Sebastiano, who has worked hard in his fields, putting together a massive estate, is not rich since "only the cemetery is rich." A plot started by the hatred ridden school teacher Don Ricciotti (who forms a new party and charges D. Sebastiano for murder) tenuously shatters Don Sebastiano life and fortune.
   

Giuliano Bugialli's The Foods Of Sicily And Sardinia And The Smaller Islands is a fantastic culinary journey brimming with recipes and related lore from the region. The Foods Of Sicily & Sardinia is illustrated throughout with an array of photographs and offers an historical perspective on the foods that have a direct lineage to ancient times. The 150 showcased recipes feature everything from lamb cooked with saffron and artichokes to sweet peas with mint to pasta-stuffed calamari to tuna in vinegar to gelato scented with jasmine. The essential flavours of a cuisine with Roman, Etruscan, Arab, Spanish, and Tuscan antecedents are enticingly captured for even the novice chef's delight. The Foods Of Sicily & Sardinia is a one-of-a-kind tribute to the sights, scents, and tastes of Italy's enchanted islands. Highly recommended!"
   

The Lead Goat Veered Off is a travelogue that humorously describes a three month portion of Neil Anderson (author)'s European bicycle tour. The author's engaging narrative whisks the reader along as a silent third party to intimately experience Sardinia, Italy. This personal narrative is a joy to read, not only for cycle tourists, but, indeed, anyone who enjoys the thrill of vicarious travel
