Synopsis

An evocation of Venice which uses vivid prose, humour and irony to present a personal portrait of an eccentric city. The Sunday Times calls it "'one of the most diverse and diverting books ever written about Venice... A taut and personal report, wholly absorbing, quickened by vivid prose and astringent humour." Divided into three sections which explore the Venetian people, the city itself and the lagoon on which it stands, Jan Morris's Venice enriches any visit to that great city - be it in person, or simply in the mind.
