Jonathan Keates

Primera publicación: 2018-09-27

The sublime city of Venice has long offered inspiration to the world's storytellers. This anthology gathers a dazzling variety of stories with Venetian settings, including Daphne du Maurier's haunting " Don't Look Now," Anthony Trollope's wartime romance " The Last Austrian Who Left Venice," Vernon Lee's spine-chilling " A Wicked Voice," and a scene from The Wings of the Dove , Henry James's tale of passion and betrayal in a Gothic palazzo on the Grand Canal. The famed Venetian adventurer Giacomo Casanova weighs in with escapades from his notorious Memoirs , alongside enthralling selections by Baron Corvo, Marcel Proust, Camillo Boito, and Jeanette Winterson. In its multifaceted portrait of La Serenissima, Venice Stories showcases a lineup of literary classics worthy of the magnificent city they celebrate.
