书籍简介

《威尼斯》常常被誉为有史以来经常的旅游书之一，它既不是一本指南，也不是一本历史书，而是以威尼斯的过去为背景，以优美的文字沉浸在威尼斯的生活和性格中。简•莫里斯分析了威尼斯人的特殊气质，以及它的水道、建筑、桥梁、游客、奇珍异宝、气味、声音、灯光和颜色，威尼斯几乎没有一个角落是扬-莫里斯没有调查过并生动地展现出来的。

简•莫里斯在第二次世界大战期间，以年轻的詹姆斯-莫里斯的身份访问威尼斯市。正如她在序言中写道："这是在一个特定的时刻通过一双特定的眼睛看到的威尼斯--那是一双年轻的眼睛，先对青春的刺激作出反应。" 

威尼斯是一部关于这个宏伟但往往令人疯狂的城市的热情之作。

Often hailed as one of the best travel books ever written, Venice is neither a guide nor a history book, but a beautifully-written immersion in Venetian life and character, set against the background of the city's past. Analysing the particular temperament of Venetians, as well as its waterways, its architecture, its bridges, its tourists, its curiosities, its smells, sounds, lights and colours, there is scarcely a corner of Venice that Jan Morris has not investigated and brought vividly to life.

Jan Morris first visited the city of Venice as young James Morris, during World War II. As she writes in the introduction,"it is Venice seen through a particular pair of eyes at a particular moment - young eyes at that, responsive above all to the stimuli of youth." Venice is an impassioned work on this magnificent but often maddening city.

Jan Morris was born in 1926 of a Welsh father and an English mother, and when she is not travelling she lives with her partner Elizabeth Morris in the top left-hand corner of Wales, between the mountains and the sea. Her books include Coronation Everest, Venice, The Pax Britannica Trilogy (Heaven's Command, Pax Britannica, and Farewell the Trumpets), and Conundrum. She is also the author of six books about cities and countries, two autobiographical books, several volumes of collected travel essays and, more recently, the unclassifiable Trieste and the Meaning of Nowhere. A Writer's World, a collection of her travel writing and reportage from over five decades, was published in 2003. Hav, her novel, was published in a new and expanded form in 2006 and was shortlisted for the Booker Prize and the Arthur C. Clarke Award. Her most recent book, Contact!, about the people she encountered on her many travels, was published in 2009.
