The sublime city of Venice has long offered inspiration to the world`s storytellers. This anthology gathers a dazzling variety of stories with Venetian settings, including Daphne du Maurier`s haunting `Don`t Look Now`, Anthony Trollope`s wartime romance `The Last Austrian Who Left Venice`, Vernon Lee`s spine-chilling `A Wicked Voice`, and a scene from `The Wings of the Dove`, Henry James`s tale of passion and betrayal in a Gothic palazzo on the Grand Canal. The famed Venetian adventurer Giacomo Casanova weighs in with escapades from his notorious `Memoirs`, alongside enthralling selections by Baron Corvo, Marcel Proust, Camillo Boito, and Jeanette Winterson. In its multifaceted portrait of La Serenissima, `Venice Stories` showcases a lineup of literary classics worthy of the magnificent city they celebrate.
