Riassunto

Reflecting the couple's thirty-year love affair with Venice, a series of travel essays pays homage to Italy's City of Water, its people, popular local eateries, landscapes, canals, and more, and is accompanied by a novella that describes a young man's brief love affair with an older woman, whose abandonment leads to a lasting love for Venice itself.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

A love letter to an ancient Italian city by the sea . . . Both writers are exemplars of the windowpane school of prose: We are able to visualize their subjects as soon as we take in their sentences.” Mindy Aloff, The Washington Post

Refreshing and delightful. Begley and Muhlstein manage to combine in one volume the innocent ardor of a first-time visitor and the seasoned appreciation of longtime lovers.” Don George, National Geographic Traveler

This is an unconventional introduction that captures the spirit both of La Serenissima and of what Thomas Mann called the slightly foul odor of sea and swamp.”. . . fresh insights both from the writers who are quoted and the authors themselves: and the novella is a gem.” Andrew Taylor, Times Literary Supplement (UK)

A charming collection of writing and memoirs of the most romantic of cities.” The Daily Express (UK)

Product Description:

Every year for all the 30 they have been married, Begley and Muhlstein have escaped to Venice to write. In this collection of essays, the couple has fashioned an homage to the City of Water.
