Rich in fascinating historical detail, populated by extraordinary characters and packed with a wealth of incident and intrigue, this is a brilliant testament to a great city - and a great and gripping read. "Norwich has loved and understood Venice as well as any other Englishman has ever done." ("Sunday Times"). "Will become the standard English work of Venetian history." ("Financial Times"). "The standard Venetian history in English." ("The Times"). "Norwich has the gift of historical perspective, as well as clarity and wit. Few can tell a good story better than he." ("Spectator" John Julius Norwich was born in 1929). He was educated at Upper Canada College, Toronto, at Eton, at the University of Strasbourg and, after a spell of National Service in the Navy, at New College, Oxford, where he took a degree in French and Russian. In 1952 he joined the Foreign Service, where he remained for twelve years, serving at the embassies in Belgrade and Beirut. In 1964 he resigned from the service to write. He is the author of histories of Norman Sicily, the Republic of Venice and the Byzantine Empire. He has written and presented some thirty historical documentaries on television, and is a regular lecturer on Venice and numerous other subjects.Hide synopsis
