Synopsis
A gorgeously jacketed hardcover anthology of classic stories set in Venice, by an international array of brilliant writers. EVERYMAN'S POCKET CLASSICS. The magnificent city of Venice has long offered inspiration to the world's storytellers. Jonathan Keates's international selection includes such classics as Daphne Du Maurier's "Don't Look Now" and Henry James's The Wings Of The Dove, along with lesser-known finds including Arthur Schnitzler's "Casanova's Homecoming," Vernon Lee's spine-chilling "A Wicked Voice," and Hugo von Hofmannsthal's impressionistic "Andreas." Venice Stories joins the growing list of city-themed anthologies in Pocket Classics, with a line-up of literary gems worth of the scintillating city they celebrate.
