"'...[it] provides an opportunity to see the city as it was and is today. Using this guide, you can scour the waterways and be enlightened by well-known writers and art-historians on practically every aspect surrounding this architecturally and culturally rich city...a brilliant anthological guide to Venice, which informs the user of the best walks through [it].' Geographical Magazine 'Seeking out the gems of Venice's art history in its churches and scuole will require the services of a good guide-book...Venice: An Anthology Guide is a good travelling companion, giving art-historical background and descriptions from a variety of learned visitors down the centuries.' Scotsman '...[it deserves] the warmest of welcomes. Above all, if there is a member of the British-Italian Society who does not know Milton Grundy's book, he or she should immediately go out and buy a copy.' Rivista, Journal of the British-Italian Society 'I've visited countless cities and oceans and deserts without venturing from my bed. Lately I've been lost in Milton Grundy's [book]...Next year I'm going to book a return air ticket and pack [his] guide into my rucksack.' Eastern Daily Press"
"Venice: The Anthology Guide" is the sixth edition, completely updated, revised and reset, of Milton Grundy's perennially fresh classic travel guide to the city. It is unlike any other guide, for it conducts visitors round Venice using the observations and opinions of famous writers and art historians to enlighten them. Among the people it quotes are Vasari, Ruskin, Berenson, Wittkower, Dickens, Henry James, A.J.C. Hare, Otto Demus, Ernst Gombrich, Michael Levey, Cecil Gould, Hugh Honour, James Morris and Alan Bennett. It includes thirty new colour illustrations, twenty of them by Sarah Quill, the renowned photographer of Venice. The book divides Venice up into seven walks and four excursions, with eight clear maps, so that people can see the maximum number of sights they wish to in a limited time. Its coverage of Venice's rich store of paintings and sculpture is as full as that of its unique architecture. Most of the illustrations - Sarah Quill's apart - are taken from old engravings and paintings, and, like the text, provide a fascinating historical perspective on the present day versions of the scenes and buildings they represent.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
