Not illustrated. 1922 edition. Excerpt: ... at dinner in Titian's house in a letter of the time: " I was invited in the month of August to the house of Messer Tiziano Vecelli, a great painter as every one knows, and the most charming of hosts, to celebrate the festa known here as ferrare agosto. We were assembled in a delicious garden situated at one extremity of Venice, beside the lagoon, across which rises the little island of Murano. In waiting for the table to be laid under the trees when the heat of the day should be over, we visited the house of the painter, full of the most marvellous pictures in the world. Then in the coolness of evening we saw the whole lagoon cover itself with gondolas carrying musicians and singers, who, together with the loveliest Venetian girls, began a serenade which lasted till midnight. As for the dinner it was as delicate as it was well ordered: the wines were fine and the accompanying service lacked nothing. At dessert they brought me your letter in which you praise the Latin tongue to the detriment of the Tuscan. Aretino attacked your opinion in the most brilliant and delightful fashion, and I should like to have in ink on paper his discourse. All passed in delight and gallantry. The noble and grave Titian kept all the time a certain restraint; whilst Aretino's friends allowed themselves to be enticed by the charms of the Aspasias of Venice, he contented himself with addressing them charmingly and caressing them; but he only gave them the kiss of Socrates." This long friendship with Titian is indeed the noble side of Aretino's life. His friendship was disinterested and pure. In such feasts as that set out above we ever see Titian as the grave observer. It is Aretino who, delighting not less than his friends in the...

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 and 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 and colours, there is scarcely a corner of Venice that Jan Morris has not investigated and 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 and reportage spans over five decades and includes such titles as Sydney, Coronation Everest, Hong Kong, Spain and Manhattan '45. Since its first publication, Venice has appeared in many editions, won the W.H. Heinemann award and 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, and as a work of literature in its own right.' Observer

In this elegant book Richard Bosworth explores Venice—not the glorious Venice of the Venetian Republic, but from the fall of the Republic in 1797 and the Risorgimento up through the present day. Bosworth looks at the glamour and squalor of the belle époque and the dark underbelly of modernization, the two world wars, and the far-reaching oppressions of the fascist regime, through to the “Disneylandification” of Venice and the tourist boom, the worldwide attention of the biennale and film festival, and current threats of subsidence and flooding posed by global warming. He draws out major themes—the increasingly anachronistic but deeply embedded Catholic Church, the two faces of modernization, consumerism versus culture. Bosworth interrogates not just Venice’s history but its meanings, and how the city’s past has been co-opted to suit present and sometimes ulterior aims. Venice, he shows, is a city where its histories as well as its waters ripple on the surface.
