Summary:
"The critically acclaimed Dutch novelist, poet, and travel writer
Cees
Nooteboom
pays tribute to Venice, the city, its history, and its treasures. For over fifty years, celebrated author
Cees
Nooteboom
has been captivated by the city of Venice, that 'absurd combination of power, money, genius and great art.' Beginning with his first visit in 1964,
Nooteboom
deftly weaves together his many travels to the floating city, vividly bringing to life the destination he discovered and admired from the alleys, locked gates, and countless canals. Surrounded by the dead, he pays homage to the painters and writers who lived and worked there, to the palaces, bridges, painting, and sculpture that give the city a kind of immortality. With his ability to penetrate to the core of his destinations,
Nooteboom
produces a radiant tribute to Venice, in the vein of Steinbeck, Forster, or Theroux."--From publisher.
