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).

This ITMB map of Venice & Northern Italy shows the city of no cars brilliantly, showing every street & laneway, every water taxi stop, every church, public square, bridge, theatre, & a goodly number of hotels & restaurants. In size, Venice is small, which is fortunate because walking & taking a boat are the only ways to get around. Lovely though the city is, one needs to get there & also see other parts of Italy, so the reverse side has a map of the northern half of the country, from Rome to the northern border. The map has been printed on waterproof paper, more for durability than climactic reasons, & the back cover

Includes:: a schematic map of the “ Vaporetto” water bus routes through the city.
