“A Wanderer in Venice” is a fantastic account of the author's experiences wandering around Venice, first published in 1914. Beautifully written and incredibly detailed, this volume leads the reader around the ancient city's streets and monuments, inviting them to soak up the atmosphere through vivid descriptions and interesting information. Enjoyable and informative, “A Wanderer in Venice” offers an authentic glimpse of Venice in the early twentieth century and would make for a worthy addition to any collection. Contents include: “The Bridge of the Adriatic”, “S. Mark's. I: The Exterior”, “S. Mark's. II: The Interior”, “The Piazza and the Campanile”, “The Doges' Palace I: The Interior”, “ The Doges' Palace I: The Exterior”, “The Piazetta”, “The Grand Canal I: From the Dogana to the Palazzo Rezzonico, Looking to the Left”, “The Grand Canal II: Browning and Wagner”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned introduction.
