Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was evening. Multitudes of light clouds, partially illumined by the moonbeams, overspread the horizon, and through them floated the full moon in tranquil majesty, while her splendour was reflected by every wave of the Adriatic Sea. All was hushed around; gently was the water rippled by the night wind; gently did the night wind sigh through the Colonnades of Venice. It was midnight; and still sat a stranger, solitary and sad, on the border of the great canal. Now with a glance he measured the battlements and proud towers of the city; and now he fixed his melancholy eyes upon the waters with a vacant stare. At length he spoke - "Wretch that I am, whither shall I go? Here sit I in Venice, and what would it avail to wander further? What will become of me? All now slumber, save myself! the Doge rests on his couch of down; the beggar's head presses his straw pillow; but for ME there is no bed except the cold, damp earth! There is no gondolier so wretched but he knows where to find work by day and shelter by night—while I— while I—Oh! dreadful is the destiny of which I am made the sport!" He began to examine for the twentieth time the pockets of his tattered garments. "No! not one paolo, by heavens!—and I hunger almost to death." He unsheathed his sword; he waved it in the moonshine, and sighed, as he marked the glittering of the steel.

Download or read book The Bravo written by James Fenimore Cooper and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2023-07-01 with total page 745 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bravo (1831) takes place in early eighteenth-century Venice, when the "Serene Republic" had lost much of its glory, leaving its oligarchs struggling to hold on to their family wealth by manipulating the government and people through secret councils and a figure-head doge. In 1844, Cooper called it "in spirit, the most American book I ever wrote" because of its depiction of the masses duped by demagoguery and the attempts of Congress to rein in President Jackson, who Cooper saw as representing the popular will. In the novel, the low-born hero, Jacopo Frontoni, is forced to become an agent of the state because his unjustly imprisoned father languishes in the infamous state prison. On the last page, Jacopo is executed as a scapegoat for the crimes attributed to him of which he is innocent, rendering his beloved insane. Only in a subplot does a noble couple escape Venice to enjoy marriage. The present text is based on all extant manuscript witnesses (including a lengthy deleted section) and offers extensive explanatory notes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When he is caught by his wife in one ill-advised seduction too many, young William Shakespeare flees Stratford to seek his fortune. Cast adrift in London, Will falls in with a band of players, but greater men have their eye on this talented young wordsmith. England’s very survival hangs in the balance, and Will finds himself dispatched to Venice on a crucial assignment. Once there, Will is dazzled by the city’s masques and its beauties, but Catholic assassins would stop at nothing to end his mission on the point of their sharpened knives—and lurking in the shadows is a killer as clever as he is cruel.Suspenseful, seductive, and as sharp as an assassin’s blade, The Spy of Venice introduces a major new literary talent to the genre—thrilling if you’ve never read a word of Shakespeare and sublime if you have.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: KEYNOTE: Featuring ffty masterworks by Mantegna, Giorgione, Titian, Veronese, and Tintoretto, this stunning book examines the brilliant painters who transformed the art of Renaisssance Venice. Featuring fifty masterworks by Mantegna, Giorgione, Titian, Veronese, and Tintoretto, this stunning book examines the brilliant painters who transformed the art of Renaissance Venice. Among the singular moments in the evolution of Western art, the Venetian Renaissance forged an artistic vocabulary of dazzling virtuosity. Celebrating the poetic potential of color and beauty observed in nature, Venetian painters of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries transcended the spatial, textural, and emotional realism of their predecessors to create works unsurpassed in their sensual depictions, velvety surfaces, and unique and glorious treatment of light. Focusing on canonical works from Vienna's Kunsthistorisches Museum (one of the world's four great imperial museums, along with the Hermitage, the Louvre, and the Prado), this book's lavish illustrations and illuminating essays offer a rich introduction to the treasures of the Venetian Renaissance. Among the spectacular artworks are Mantegna's tortured Saint Sebastian, Titian's enigmatic Bravo (The Assassin) and sumptuous Danäe, and a rare group of paintings by the elusive Giorgione, including Portrait of a Young Woman (Laura) and The Three philosophers. The book also includes exemplary works by Veronese, Palma ecchio, Bordone, and Bassano, among others, revealing the full range of Venetian accomplishment in the Renaissance era. AUTHOR: Sylvia Ferino is director of the Gemaldegalerie of the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, and an expert on Italian painting. Lynn Federle Orr is curator in charge of European art at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. Among her recent publications is The Cult of Beauty: The Aesthetic Movement 1860-1900 100 colour illustrations

Download or read book Restaurants of Venice written by Alessandro Tortato and published by Ronzani Editore. This book was released on 2024-06-19 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alessandro Tortato, a music professor, orchestra conductor, and acute historian, tempers and tunes his culinary passion in his spare time. To the delight of us readers. In Restaurants of Venice, he shelved baton and volumes to take on the role of the friend who confidentially guides us through calli and campi. The “maestro,” as Alessandro is called by those who know him, here employed his skills to bring to life an unprecedented book. Restaurants of Venice fills a gap, for an accurate mapping of Venetian restaurants has not existed until now. And Tortato has finally drawn it, in his own way, marrying curiosity, history and flavors in a jargon-free, accessible and appealing style. We needed a guide like this, and only Alessandro could write it. You will not find the expert’s narcissistic flaunting or insiders’ terminology. It is a book for everyone, written with a smile, conceived for the tourist who comes from afar but also for those who simply want to learn more about the art of eating out in Venice. These pages are not just a guide to restaurants but an unprecedented journey through the world’s most explored city. It is a sentimental journey that will enable you to experience Venice with new eyes. Each restaurant hides a story, with its own peculiarities. There is nothing serial, nothing already known. No platitudes and clichés. Everything is unique: you will happen to taste cod in Tintoretto’s studio or enjoy a plate of carpaccio next to Woody Allen. Tortato has devised a guidebook that is as light as one of Mozart’s arias. Places, chefs, dishes and ingredients are described through a seductive narrative inviting us to discover the true flavors of Venice. Alessandro Zangrando
