About this title

Synopsis

A beautifully designed new edition of Régis Debray's mischievous, provocative attack on the city and on those who have succumbed to its charms. With energetic and gleeful vitriol, Debray unpicks Venice's superficiality, "gondolier kitsch," and allure for intellectuals and sophisticates. With a cover illustration by famous fashion designer Julie Verhoeven.
