Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"In the spirit of Henry James...Fans of Miss Manners' high comic style will find much to amuse them in this idiosyncratic slice of prosciutto on wry." -- Amanda Heller - Boston Sunday Globe "Reading her book, with its captivating mini-histories of Venetian literary salons, families of note and artists in residence, is like attending a gossipy Continental dinner party in which Martin not only plays the hostess but moonlights as various guests...Not only does Martin know what she likes, she knows how to serve it." -- Pamela Paul - New York Times Book Review "Interesting, frequently enlightening, and always amusing." -- Library Journal "Perfect for a swift, semi-intellectual overview of Venice that goes several steps deeper than the average tourist guide." -- Publishers Weekly "Do yourself a courtesy and read this revelation about the Jewel of the Adriatic." -- P. J. O'Rourke
