Venice For Lovers de Louis Begley

Venice For Lovers

Autor Louis Begley, Anka Muhlstein
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 ian 2012
Every year for the 30 they have been married, Louis Begley and Anka Mulhstein spend long, enjoyable months in Venice. They write and live there and, over the decades, La Serenissima has become their second home.
The owners of their favourite restaurants have become their friends and they share the lives of the locals, far off the beaten tourist tracks, as Mulhstein describes so very charmingly in this book. Louis Begley tells the story of how he fell in love in and with Venice. He is not alone, as his brilliant literary essay on the city’s place in world literature demonstrates: Henry James, Marcel Proust and Thomas Mann are only some of his illustrious predecessors. Mulhstein and Begley’s Venice is a very private view of a place, which will forever inspire dreams of love and passion.

Recenzii


“A love letter to an ancient Italian city by the sea . . . Both writers are exemplars of the windowpane school of prose: We are able to visualize their subjects as soon as we take in their sentences.”—Mindy Aloff, The Washington Post

“Refreshing and delightful. Begley and Muhlstein manage to combine in one volume the innocent ardor of a first-time visitor and the seasoned appreciation of longtime lovers.”—Don George, National Geographic Traveler

“This is an unconventional introduction that captures the spirit both of La Serenissima and of what Thomas Mann called “the slightly foul odor of sea and swamp.”. . . fresh insights both from the writers who are quoted and the authors themselves: and the novella is a gem.”—Andrew Taylor, Times Literary Supplement (UK)

“A charming collection of writing and memoirs of the most romantic of cities.”—The Daily Express (UK)
