ISBN: 9780571322794.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOften 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 citys 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.\n\nJan 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Faber \u0026 Faber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45213017997365,"sku":"ByrdShop_0571322794","price":93.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780571322794_a61e72a5-5a19-4bc6-978d-015f33fd3cdb.jpg?v=1779910781","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/venice-9780571322794","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
