VENICE AN INTERIOR (PB)

Century after century, the essence of Venice is unchanging. It is a place of contradictions, equal parts glamour and chaos. As a young man, Javier Marias made the city his home. Since then, he has left and returned many times, drawn back to its labyrinth of blind alleys and pearly green canals. He has traced every inch of its endless interior, has lived among the Venetians and lived apart from them. In this book Marias sets out to uncover the heart of this strange and enchanting place.
