| Zusammenfassung: | "In this sumptuous vision of Venice, Peter Ackroyd turns his unparalleled skill at evoking place from London and the River Thames, to Italy and the city of myth, mystery and beauty, set like a jewel in its glistening lagoon.His account is at once romantic and packed with facts, conjuring up the atmosphere of the canals, bridges and sunlit squares, the churches and the markets, the fiestas and the flowers.He leads us through the history of the city, from the first refugees arriving in the mists of the lagoon in the fourth century to the rise of a great mercantile state and a trading empire, the wars against Napoleon and the tourist invasions of today. Everything is here: the merchants on the Rialto and the Jews in the ghetto; the mosaics of St Mark's and the glass blowers of Murano; the carnival masks and the sad colonies of lepers; the doges and the destitute and the artists with their passion for colour and form - Bellini, Titian, Tintoretto, Tiepolo. There are wars and sieges, scandals and seductions, fountains playing in deserted squares and crowds thronging the markets. And there is a dark undertone too, of shadowy corners and dead ends, prisons and punishment. The language and way of thinking of the Venetians sets them aside from the rest of Italy. They are an island people, linked to the sea and to the tides rather than the land. This book, like a magic gondola, transports its readers to that sensual, surprising realm. We could have no better guide - reading Ackroyd's Venice is, in itself, a glorious journey and the perfect holiday."--Publisher's description. |

In this sumptuous vision of Venice, Peter Ackroyd turns
his unparalleled skill at evoking place from London and
the River Thames to Italy and the city of myth, mystery
and beauty, set like a jewel in its glistening lagoon.
His account is at once romantic and packed with facts,
conjuring up the atmosphere of the canals, bridges and
sunlit squares, the churches and the markets, the fiestas
and the flowers.
He leads us through the history of the city, from the
first refugees arriving in the mists of the lagoon in the
fourth century to the rise of a great mercantile state
and trading empire, the wars against Napoleon and
the tourist invasions of today. Everything is here: the
merchants on the
Rialto
and the Jews in the ghetto;
the mosaics of St Mark's and the glass-blowers of
Murano;
the carnival masks and the sad colonies
of lepers; the doges and the destitute, and the artists
with their passion for colour and form
—
Bellini, Titian,
Tintoretto, Tiepolo. There are wars and sieges, scandals
and seductions, and crowds thronging the markets,
but always with a dark undertone of shadowy corners,
dead ends, prisons and punishment.
Peter Ackroyd is an award-winning novelist, as well as a
broadcaster, biographer, poet and historian. The author
of the acclaimed non-fiction bestsellers, Thames: Sacred
River and London: The Biography, he has a CBE for
services to literature.
The language and way of thinking of the Venetians sets
them aside from the rest of Italy. They are an island
people, linked to the sea and the tides rather than to the
land. This book, like a magic gondola, transports its
readers to that sensual, surprising realm. We could have
no better guide
—
reading Ackroyd
s
Venice is, in itself, a
glorious journey to the ultimate city, glittering, evocative
and forever fascinating. |
