'Norwich has loved and understood Venice as well as any other Englishman has ever done' Sunday Times

'Will become the standard English work of Venetian history' Financial Times

___________________

Renowned historian, and author of A Short History of Byzantium, John Julius Norwich's classic history of Venice

A History of Venice tells the story of this most remarkable of cities from its founding in the fifth century, through its unrivalled status for over a thousand years as one of the world's busiest and most powerful city states, until its fall at the hands of Napoleon in 1797. Rich in fascinating historical detail, populated by extraordinary characters and packed with a wealth of incident and intrigue, this is a brilliant testament to a great city - and a great and gripping read.
