Set within the world of rare-book collecting: the true story of an infamous book thief, his victims, and the man determined to catch him. The lagoon has always been Venice’s primary space: its first condition that must be faced before entering the city.

Instead of continuous land, the jigsaw puzzle whole of Venice is built on 118 little islands linked in a lagoon in the Adriatic Sea.

The most well-known area is San Marco, the heart of Venice, where Saint Mark’s Basilica dazzles, in front of which the Grand Canal unites one palace to another and another. For some, the soul of Venice is found by wandering its narrow pathways, passing the bricks of its salt-soaked facades; others find it through the eyes of a Carnival mask, or perhaps within one of the city’s small squares,” begins Tournebize in the book’s introduction.
