Jan Morris’ Venice is an impassioned portrait of one of the world’s most glorious cities by ‘one of our greatest writers’ (according to the The Times). Divided into three sections which explore the Venetian people, the city itself & the lagoon on which it stands, Venice enriches any visit to that great city
- be it in person, or simply in the mind. An impassioned evocation of Venice that is tantamount to a witty love letter to Italy`s most iconic city. Vivid prose, humour & irony are used to present a highly personal, yet accessible portrait of this glorious, eccentric city.

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 & character, set against the background of the city`s past. Analysing the particular temperament of Venetians, as well as its waterways, its architecture, its bridges, its tourists, its curiosities, its smells, sounds, lights & colours, there is scarcely a corner of Venice that Jan Morris has not investigated & brought vividly to life. Jan Morris first visited the city of Venice as young James Morris, during World War II. As she writes in the introduction, `it is Venice seen through a particular pair of eyes at a particular moment
- young eyes at that, responsive above all to the stimuli of youth.` Venice is an impassioned work on this magnificent but often maddening city. Jan Morris`s collection of travel writing & reportage spans over five decades &

Includes:: such titles as Sydney, Coronation Everest, Hong Kong, Spain & Manhattan `45. Since its first publication, Venice has appeared in many editions, won the W.H. Heinemann award & become an international bestseller. ” 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, & as a work of literature in its own right.” (Observer).
