Download or read book In and Around Venice (Classic Reprint) written by Horatio Forbes Brown and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-14 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In and Around Venice I have added some chapters on a few of the less known places in the neighbourhood which may be of use to those who wish to see what the mainland is like. The first chapter appeared in Venetian Studies, now out of print. It was written in 1887, and in some cases reference is made to places which no longer exist. I have let these few passages stand as records of what once was, but have noted the changes at the foot of the page.

Download or read book Venice (Classic Reprint) written by Mortimer Menpes and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-05-03 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Venice There is no city more written about, more painted, and more misrepresented, than Venice. Students, poets, and painters have combined in reproducing her many charms. Usually, however, Venice is described in a hurried, careless way: the subject is seldom gone deeply into, and studied as it should be, before attempting to compile a book. It is only one who has been there, and observed the life and characteristics of the people for years, who can gain any true perception of their character. Those who have not been to Venice must needs know by heart her attractions, which have been so persistently thrust before the public; but unless half a dozen really excellent books have been read concerning her, the' city of their imaginations must be a theatrical Venice, unreal and altogether false.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Venice May we be permitted a word Of counsel to the returning traveller who has not restricted his move ments by taking the usual circular ticket. If he voyage by the little steamer that plies between the Riva degli Schiavoni and Fusina (whence a steam tram will carry him to the S. Sofia station at Padua, near the Arena Chapel), he will pass along the Old route from the mainland, and enjoy a last and certainly a fond and lingering view Of the wonderful city as the boat slowly steams away from Venice through the canals Of the Zattere and Of Fusina. The train to Padua passes along the road that follows the course Of the Canale di Brenta, affording glimpses Of many an Old patrician palace in picturesque decay. He will touch at Oriago where Jacopo del Cassero, who entreated Dante's prayers in the ante-purgatorio, was overtaken and murdered by the assassins of the tyrant Azzo VIII. Of Este, and saw among the reeds and the mire1 a pool growing on the ground from his veins. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

They have been praised for qualities they did not possess and blamed for crimes they did not commit.

Giorgio, and the Salva tore, until they reached a pal ace on the Grand Canal, which was their mistress's residence, with poles painted red and white, with coronets on their tops, marking the landing stairs in the old Venetian fashion.

Book Synopsis The Navy of Venice (Classic Reprint) by : Alethea Wiel
Download or read book The Navy of Venice (Classic Reprint) written by Alethea Wiel and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-15 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Navy of Venice The history of Venice has been told in many ways and by many writers. Poets, novelists, and dramatists have in turn portrayed the romantic charm and tragic fate of the amphibious city. But by some inexplicable oversight her Navy - the expression par excellence of her peculiar character, the instrument by which she both built up her actual fabric and shaped her destiny - has been ignored, or has been treated only in conjunction with those of other Italian seaports. Its individuality and its import ance have thus been obscured. The object of the present work is to endeavour to make good, as far as may be, this deficiency; and to give its due prominence to a subject which should appeal, not only to specialists and experts in naval matters, but to all who feel the fascination of the sea, or who are attracted by the marvellous tale of the rise and fall of Venice. I do not, alas! Belong to the ranks of the experts and specialists: I have not even attempted to adopt their language when I describe the vessels most in use in the Venetian Navy and the exploits in which they gained renown. I have rather striven, as far as in me lies, to set before the general reader the important part that Navy played, for more than a thousand years, in developing the individuality of the Republic, and I have also striven to prove how fatally the wealth and luxury in Venice under mined the simplicity and vigour of her citizens, and how their indifference and apathy as to the maintenance of the Navy was the cause of the downfall of the city. That no work dealing exclusively with the subject has yet been written is a strange and curious fact - that it should be handled for the first time by a woman and a foreigner is stranger still.
