The great writer's guide to the Old World's only surviving city. Inimitably written in Vidal's characteristically brilliant style it thereby sets itself apart from ALL other accounts; there are many and are quite superb. If the ruins of Athens and Rome be our link to the Age of Antiquity Venice largely remains as it once was "the world's most romantic city" albeit submerged in fetid waters. "Gore Vidal traces his roots back to Venice. He takes you along as he peers into Venice's mysterious glorious and twisted history. In this very personal tour of Venice Past and Present Vidal guides you in his own special way telling you as much about the Venetian people as he does about their empire including visits to Crete and Naxos Venetian strongholds of the past. The great writer who traces his ancestors to the imperial Venetians centuries ago is an excellent guide: The art treasures the sumptuous palaces the literary past the scandals of yesterday and the tourist-y Venice of today all find their place in Vidal's chronicle as he wanders from the canals to the Doge's Palace. This is Venice as only Vidal's eyes could see it" Publisher's blurb . An absolute "must-have" title for Gore Vidal collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black pen on the title page by Gore Vidal. It is signed directly on the page itself not on a tipped-in page. It comes with the original VHS tapes of the film version-adaptations "Vidal In Venice: Part One" and "Vidal In Venice: Part Two" narrated by Gore Vidal and beautifully filmed by Mischa Scorer both in pristine un-used condition. This title is a great book. As far as we know this is the only such signed copy with original tapes of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing American available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean crisp and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws are subsequent printings or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare set thus.
