Synopsis:
This is an anthology of writings on Venice by both travellers and authors, inhabitants and visitors, accompanied by an array of images chosen from the work of well-known artists and photographers - intended for both dedicated and "armchair" travellers.
Synopsis: In this collection the varied authors share their impressions and capture the grandeur and moods of Venice. Extracts from the works of writers are illustrated by paintings and photographs by Claude Monet, J.M.W. Turner and Canaletto among others. Mark Twain, John Singer Sargent and Mary McCarthy number among the writers and artists who have been drawn to the islands of Venice to ride on gondolas on the Grand Canal, to float opposite the Bridge of Sighs, to stroll along quiet, narrow streets, or have a rendezvous at a cafe in the Piazza San Marco.
