”A Venetian Bestiary” is a celebration in words & pictures of a `mighty menagerie of fact & fantasy`: the animals of Venice, from its ubiquitous cats & barge dogs to the Golden Stallions & Winged Lion of St Mark. Illustrated with some of the many creatures who inhabit the city, the book is an enchanting tour of Venice`s history & culture. In her irresistible voice, & with unmistakable authority, Morris reveals an essential tenet of Venetian life: if we don`t know its animals, we don`t know Venice. ...

In ” Venetian Empire”, Jan Morris reconstructs the whole of this glittering dominion in the form of a sea-voyage, travelling along the historic Venetian trade routes from Venice itself to Greece, Crete & Cyprus. For six centuries the Republic of Venice was a maritime empire, its sovereign power extending throughout much of the eastern Mediterranean – an empire of coasts, islands & isolated fortresses by which, as Wordsworth wrote, the mercantile Venetians `held the gorgeous east in fee`. This is a traveller`s book, geographically arranged but wandering at will from the past to the present, evoking not only contemporary landscapes & sensations but also the characters, the emotions & the tumultuous events of the past. The first such work ever written about the Venetian ‘ Stato da Mar’, it is an invaluable historical companion for visitors to Venice itself & for travellers through the lands the Doges once ruled. ...

The residential interiors included here range from fabric designer Mirella Spinella s house, full of Asian influences & the blue-&-white harmonies of the Palazzo Pisani Rubelli, to the cutting-edge geometrics of London-based architect Michael Carapetian & the home of DJ Spiller, who combines high-tech electronics with frescoed ceilings & rocaille wood panelling in an ancient noble mansion. Featuring a lively anecdotal text & stunning colour photographs of private interiors otherwise not open to the public, this beautifully illustrated volume is essential for anyone who has fantasized about living in one of the most romantic cities in Europe. This is an enchanting volume for browsers, armchair tourists, & anyone interested in interior design. ...

In the 14th century, Nicolo & Antonio Zen journeyed from Venice up the North Atlantic, encountering warrior princes, fighting savage natives &, just possibly, reaching the New World a full century before Columbus. The story of their adventure travelled throughout Europe, from the workshop of the great cartographer Mercator to the court of Elizabeth I. For centuries, the brothers were international celebrities, until, in 1835, the story was denounced as a `tissue of lies` & the Zens faded into oblivion. But was it a hoax? & what if these Venetian navigators really did make their incredible journey? Intrigued by the myth, Andrea di Robilant sets out to discover the truth about the Zen voyages. Following in their footsteps, his quest to solve one of Venice`s most intriguing mysteries takes him on a fascinating journey of his own, from the crumbling Palazzo Zen in Venice to the Orkney Islands, Shetl&, the Faroes, Iceland & even as far as an isolated monastery in Greenl&. Part history, part travelogue, ” Venetian Navigators” is a charming tale of great journeys, fine detective work & faith against the odds. ...
