1. 1. Venice

   

   A concise cultural and historical portrait that traces the city’s rise from marshland to maritime power, examining its distinctive architecture, art, ceremonies and political institutions and showing how water shapes both its physical form and its imaginative life; blending historical narrative, myth and personal observation, the book evokes the grandeur and melancholy of canals, palaces, churches and masked pageantry while reflecting on decline, preservation and the pressures of modern tourism.
