Venice: City of Haunting Dreams

To many people, Venice is quite simply the most beautiful city in the world. It is a city of many contradictions—something grand but faded, magical yet ghostly, beautiful but with a dark, sinister undercurrent running through its canals.Featuring over 100 beautiful duotone and color photographs, Simon Marsden's Venice: City of Haunting Dreams allows the reader to sense the silence and spirituality of the great cathedrals and churches, feel the aura of the once mighty Venetian Empire and the decadence of its fall from grace.
