Thoughtful, thorough and insightful, [Ackroyd] is at least asmuch interpreter as historian. He brings this iconic city to vividlife ... While Venice is by no means an orthodox traveler's guide,it's a wonderful introduction to a city that has cast a particularspell since the fifth century ... A portrait so vivid it's aromatic... Intoxicating. — Pittsburgh Post-Gazette “Ackroyd provides a history of and meditation on the actual andimaginary Venice in a volume as opulent and paradoxical as the cityitself. . . . How Ackroyd deftly catalogues the overabundance ofthe city’s real and literary tropes and touchstones is itself akind of tribute to La Serenissima , as Venice is called, andhis seductive voice is elegant and elegiac. The resulting book is,like Venice, something rich, labyrinthine and unique that makesitself and its subject both new and necessary.” — Publishers Weekly Praise from the UK: "Ackroyd is hugely intelligent and formidably industrious; therecan be few people, Venetian or foreign
