In Search of Venice

0/5 ( ratings)

In Search of Venice is a collection of extraordinary responses to a city that leaves no one indifferent.

Both Paul Morand's memoir of a remarkable life that always returned there and Petr Král's heartfelt appreciation are lyrical, profound, and evocative. Henry James' letters composed by the Grand Canal provide a beautiful and personal insight into both the city and the great writer. In Arthur Schnitzler's moving novella, the ageing Casanova longs for Venice and for his lost youth. And Régis Debray provides a boisterous antidote to the amour fou that so often afflicts its visitors, not least its writers.

And included here for the first time in English, Antal Szerb's Journey to Venice is an account of the unique and brilliant writer's final visit to the place that enchanted him as powerfully as it ever has anyone: the visit that would result in his masterwork Journey by Moonlight.
