Landscape in literature. (with examples).

The character of a landscape helps define the self-image of the people who inhabit it and a sense of place that differentiates one region from other regions. Landscape is also important in literature, as it allows the reader to immerse himself in the environment of the work, which he is reading.

Example: There were only two Americans stopping at the hotel. They did not know any of the people they passed on the stairs on their way to and from their room. Their room was on the second floor facing the sea. It also faced the public garden and the war monument. There were big palms and green benches in the public garden. In the good weather there was always an artist with his easel. Artists liked the way the palms grew and the bright colors of the hotels facing the gardens and the sea. Italians came from a long way off to look up at the war monument. It was made of bronze and glistened in the rain. It was raining. The rain dripped from the palm trees. Water stood in pools on the gravel paths. The sea broke in a long line in the rain and slipped back down the beach to come up and break again in a long line in the rain. The motor cars were gone from the square by the war monument. Across the square in the doorway of the cafe a waiter stood looking out at the empty square. 



(Ernest Hemingway – ‘Cat in the Rain’ )

From the beginning of the text you can see a wonderful example of the landscape. By the skill of the author

emphasizing the difference between a landscape in rainy and sunny weather, the author notes that an American woman is surrounded by boredom and loneliness in front of a window every day for a long time.
