Venedig

Traveling with Miroslav Sasek in the "Serenissima": We glide through the Grand Canal in a gondola, admire the Doge's Palace and many magnificent palaces under a brilliantly blue sky, wander through countless alleys and canals, stroll over the Rialto Bridge, and experience the city during "acqua alta." We encounter postcard sellers and market vendors, gondoliers, and of course the tourists surrounded by pigeons in St. Mark's Square. "All cities are the same, only Venice is a little different," as Friedrich Torberg's Aunt Jolesch once said. The great Miroslav Sasek loved Venice, and the enthusiasm with which he walked through this almost unreal beautiful city is reflected on every page of this book.
