About this listen

Venice stands, as she loves to tell you, on the frontiers of the east and west, half-way between the setting and the rising sun. Goethe calls her "the market-place of the Morning and the Evening lands". Certainly no city on earth gives a more immediate impression of symmetry and unity, or seems more patently born to greatness.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

The definitive guide, and in truth a love letter, to Venice. Absolutely fantastic. The book transported me to La Serenissima and I learned so much. A must listen for anyone who likes Venice or indeed a planning guide on where to go while you are there.

What an amazing book! What a story or history of Venice. Love this book very much and want visit the city and read it there.
The narrator is very good, but the sound is a little echoey. It distracts from the story sometimes.

All parts of this amazing book are so beautiful.

More social history than guide book, Morris paints a timeless portrait of this unique city. Whether you’re actively planning a visit or just an armchair traveller it’s well worth a read.
