Beskrivning

Muhlstein and Begley’s Venice is a very private view of a city that will forever inspire dreams of love and passion. Every year of their marriage, they have spent long, enjoyable months in ‘La Serenissima’. It has become their second home. The owners of their favourite restaurants are now firm friends, and they share the lives of the locals, far off the beaten tourist tracks. Louis Begley tells the story of how he fell in love with and in 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 among his illustrious predecessors.
