It is a traveller's book, geographically arranged but wandering at will from the past to the present, evoking not only contemporary landscapes and sensations but also the characters, the emotions and the tumultuous events of the past. The first such work ever written about the Venetian 'Stato da Mar', it is an invaluable historical companion for visitors to Venice itself and for travellers through the lands the Doges once ruled.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Venetian Empire: A Sea Voyage (Revised) | Jan Morris | Paperback | 9780140119947 | Used: Very Good | Travelogues 1755476","offer_id":49201171660952,"sku":"1755476","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/614fqls3GPL.jpg?v=1780780798","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/venetian-empire-a-sea-voyage-revised","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
