JAN MORRIS
VENICE
OUTLINE
Often hailed as one of the best travel books ever written, Venice is neither a guide nor a history book, but a beautifully written immersion in Venetian life and character, set against the background of the city's past. It analyses the particular temperament of Venetians, as well as its waterways, its architecture, its bridges, sounds, lights and colours.
REVIEWS
'The best book about Venice ever written' Sunday Times
'No sensible visitor should visit the place without it . . . Venice stands alone as the essential introduction, and as a work of literature in its own right.' Observer
