{"product_id":"venice-19","title":"Venice","description":"\u003cp\u003eOften hailed as one of the best travel books ever written, \u003ci\u003eVenice \u003c\/i\u003eis neither a guide nor a history book, but a beautifully written immersion in Venetian life and character, set against the background of the city's past. Analysing the particular temperament of Venetians, as well as its waterways, its architecture, its bridges, its tourists, its curiosities, its smells, sounds, lights and colours, there is scarcely a corner of Venice that Jan Morris has not investigated and brought vividly to life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Jan Morris first visited the city of Venice as young James Morris, during World War II. As she writes in the introduction, 'it is Venice seen through a particular pair of eyes at a particular moment - young eyes at that, responsive above all to the stimuli of youth.' \u003ci\u003eVenice \u003c\/i\u003eis an impassioned work on this magnificent but often maddening city. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Jan Morris's collection of travel writing and reportage spans over five decades and includes such titles as \u003ci\u003eSydney, Coronation Everest, Hong Kong, Spain\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eManhattan '45\u003c\/i\u003e.
