Book Synopsis The Liquid Continent: Venice by : Nicholas Woodsworth
Book excerpt: Of all the great powers of the Mediterranean past, Venice was the most commercially ambitious. Her great wealth and sophisticated culture were products of a commercial empire that stretched from the Adriatic to the ports of the Levant, and her long history is studded with sea dramas of war, crusade and intrigue.
