Description:The great Dutch author and traveller Cees Nooteboom sheds new light on Venice the city, its history, and its treasures Cees Nooteboom’s love for Venice, this “absurd combination of power, money, genius and great art,” has been ongoing for more than fifty years. The first visit was in 1964, in the company of a young woman. Then, in 1982, he arrived on the Orient Express. Only on his tenth visit did he take a gondola ride. He has dived deep into the labyrinth and discovered his own lagoon city between the alleys, locked gates, and countless canals. He is surrounded by the dead, and 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 sheds new light on the city, its history, and its treasures, producing a radiant tribute to Venice.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
