«Visa pour Venise» is Jan Morris's essay on Venice, published by Gallimard in paperback format (473 pages, in French).
Jan Morris spent two years in Venice and paints a portrait of the city that combines history, art, customs and daily life, with lyricism, erudition and irony. She explores its canals, its lagoon, its architecture and its atmosphere, and evokes Renaissance painters and Romantic travelers to capture a city both real and legendary.
This edition of «Visa pour Venise» belongs to the Folio collection (no. 2107), offers the complete text and reproduces the French translation by Georges Magnane.
For readers interested in the history and culture of Venice, travel literature and portraits of cities.
