Terrific!!.......2007-08-23
What a great update on a very useful book! The last several years I've spent weeks at a time in Venezia...cruising every calle for foodie gems! What a delight it was finding the first edition of this delightful book...and the update reassures the reader a present-time evaluation!!
Many thanks to Shannon and Ruth!!!
Invaluable Guide.......2007-07-20
At last, a book written by people who have actually LIVED there! While dining in Venice can be problematical, these two gals have eaten (and eaten and eaten) their way through the city and have given Americans, in particular, all the info we need for a successful visit. We found their recommendations to be spot-on, as the English say. The only thing missing is notations as to when the restaurants are closed; for example, many Venetians close up shop for vacation in August and if you want to make reservations ahead, you have to search the net for their websites to inquire, or do as I finally did -- contact my hotel ahead of time and give them a list.
Yes, buy this book and try the restaurants, but..........2007-07-14
I brought this guide to Venice with me last time, and I'll bring it next time too. It's a good little book. The ladies point out some very nice restaurants. However, the anecdotes really suck. All they do is point out special treatment that they've received at one restaurant or another, and this is very unbecoming in what ought to be impartial criticism. I know how thrilling it is to be considered an insider in Venice, but the authors should show a little professionalism and keep it under their hats.
Thanks to Chow Venice, we had the most wonderful meals.......2007-07-06
I cant recommend this book enough. I had heard many things about Venice and the restaurants being mediocre and overpriced and thought, just add us to that list. I then read on www.slowtrav.com many people had very positive dining experiences using Chow Venice and were recommending it, so I placed my order. After perusing it, my husband and I dog eared half the book of places we wanted to try. Trying to narrow that list was difficult! Every one of our meals recommended by Chow Venice was delicous. I also liked that it gave detailed directions to the restaurants and the food/ingredient translation came in handy.
Five Stars for Chow! Venice.......2007-06-10
Eating well in Venice is easy with Chow! Venice. We tried a different restaurant from the book several nights during our recent stay in what has become our favorite city and were never disappointed. The book is written by two women who obviously love Venice, good food and wine. The book was fun to read and an easy size for packing. Our evening walk through the beautiful, scenic neighborhoods to our restaurant choice of the night was always a delight. The precise directions for reaching each restaurant were invaluable.
We found the food in Venice on a previous visit to very inconsistent. We enjoyed some lovely, expensive meals and several mediocre (but still expensive) ones, very different from our experience this year with great reasonably priced meals night after night. I would definitely recommend this book for anyone planning a visit to Venice.
Book Description
If there ever has been a groundbreaking edition that likewise returns the reader to the original Shakespeare text, it will be the Applause Folio Texts. If there has ever been an accessible version of the Folio, it is this edition, set for the first time in modern fonts. The Folio is the source of all other editions. The Folio text forces us to re-examine the assumptions and prejudices which have encumbered over four hundred years of scholarship and performance. Notes refer the reader to subsequent editorial interventions, and offer the reader a multiplicity of interpretations. Notes also advise the reader on variations between Folios and Quartos. The heavy mascara of four centuries of Shakespearean glossing has by now glossed over the original countenance of Shakespeare's work. Never has there been a Folio available in modern reading fonts. While other complete Folio editions continue to trade simply on the facsimile appearance of the Elizabethan "look," none of them is easily and practically utilized in general Shakespeare studies or performances.
Customer Reviews:
The unplayable play.......2007-01-21
As Harold Bloom says, this has become an unplayable play after the Holocaust. This is only an additional reason why one should read it. The play is fantastic and gives us one of Shakespeare's most memorable characters: Shylock. Whether you see him as villain or victim, Shylock is unforgettable. As is his speech defending the Jewish.
Shakespeare's Comedy/Tragedy of Marriage and its Interrelationships.......2006-03-22
The New Folger Library of Shakespeare's Tragedies and Comedies are among the best pocket editions available for the student and the journeyman lover of the Bard.
Before the actual text of the play which is wisely presented on the right hand page with explanatory notes (metaphors, allusions, similes, etc.) facing on the left hand page (words and phrases are defined by scholars based on their usage during Shakespeare's time; if scholars are inconclusive as to meaning, the word `uncertain' is used to connote this disagreement), the usual `Reading Shakespeare's Language', `Shakespeare's Life', `Shakespeare's Theatre', `Publication of Shakespeare's Plays' and `Introduction to the Text' introduce the reader to the Shakespearean world. Following the text, an essay by Alexander Leggatt follows illuminating `The Merchant of Venice' for the modern reader. In addition, an eleven page `Further Reading' list pinpoints books and essays on topics like the play itself, Shakespeare, the time in which he lived and the Globe Theatre. Rounding out the vital information is a three page "Key to Famous Lines and Phrases" complete with speaker and verse notation.
As far as the play itself, I will keep my remarks limited, saying only that for the modern audience, Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice" borders on the provocative. All with politically correct upbringing or today's cultural sensitivity training cannot help but focus on the reigning prejudice of the early Medieval and Renaissance time period, namely the exclusion of Jews from all forms of normal life since mainstream thought withheld that this race was primarily responsible for Christ's crucifixion.
Indeed, today's reader will pose the question as to whether or not this play should be deemed more tragedy than comedy and must remember that as a comedy, "The Merchant of Venice" focuses on marriage, couples (Bassanio/Portia, Lorenzo/Jessica, Gratiano/Nerissa) and their emotional and financial interrelationships and uses sly humor and innuendo to poke fun at Venice's societal `outsiders'(Shylock, Morocco, Aragorn and in a lesser sense Antonio) who do not form a Shakespearean couple per se. Looked at from this perspective, the character of Shylock becomes simply the play's foremost societal outcast, in spite of the famous speech where he asks seemingly so poignantly, "If you prick us, do we not bleed?"
Bottom line: Shakespeare is Shakespeare. If your modern sensibilities are offended by Shakespeare's treatment of Shylock the Jew, the Prince of Morocco and the Prince of Aragorn and question the unhappy and solitary Antonio's intense feelings for Bassanio, simply keep in mind that the world at that time looked at such things differently. Within the definition of comedy, this play with its multitude of lovely speeches and images works well indeed. The New Folger Library edition simply makes the play more easily accessible and understood on the various levels of language and scholarship. I recommend this series wholeheartedly.

Context is the king of this comedy!.......2006-03-15
THE MERCHANT OF VENICE can be described as a tragedy only if one follows the modern definition of "tragedy" and not the Greek. The genre of tragedy in which Shakespeare wrote required that all of the players, or at least all of the main players, die at the end, à la ROMEO AND JULIET, JULIUS CAESAR, MACBETH, and HAMLET. In fact, MERCHANT OF VENICE can only be described as a tragedy if Shylock is seen as the main character and not Antonio. (Note, in the list of players at the beginning of the play, only Antonio is called a "merchant of Venice".) In sum, THE MERCHANT OF VENICE can only be described as a tragedy if it is completely removed from its historical context.
Shakespeare intended that the actions taken by Antonio, by Shylock, by Bassanio, and even by Portia be seen as comically extreme. Antonio goes to the lengths of seeking help from a man he despises to help a man he loves. Shylock demands nothing but justice, even when the demands of the agreement he made is met and even doubled. Everywhere in this play is there action taken to the extreme.
Only a refusal to acknowledge the historical context would be blind to the comedy. There are stage plays, television shows, and screenplays aplenty which follow the example set forth in MERCHANT OF VENICE, showing how comical people can be when their actions are taken to the extreme. If MERCHANT OF VENICE can be view in THIS context, then the comedy shines through.
As a writer, I find it comical that anyone would use MERCHANT OF VENICE to point the finger of "racism" at Shakespeare. Part of a writer's challenge is to present convincingly views even he or she disagrees with. The best writer would try to dismantle and disprove the very beliefs he or she holds dear. That Shakespeare has often been judged a racist based on his portrayal of Shylock serves only as testimony to the continuing success of this play. Shylock's speech, complimented by another reviewer, is ample proof that Shakespeare's own views are well hid. Shylock's speech demonstrates magnificently that Shakespeare was able to get inside the head of any man (or woman) in his stories and write the words which that man would speak, faithfully render the thoughts which that man would think, have that man act as only that man would act, and all of it be believable. Simply put, unless you knew beforehand a writer's views on any subject, it would be difficult to find the needle of truth in his or her haystack of fiction if that writer has done their job well, and in this case Shakespeare was damned near flawless!
It is true that the movie, starring Al Pacino, does not present this play as a comedy, but that hardly detracts from its excellence. It shows, in fact, that MERCHANT OF VENICE plays well as both a drama and a comedy. In our age, however, given the importance of religious tolerance, I'll admit that it is probably best played as a drama.
As for the Pelican series of Shakespeare's plays, they are an excellent resource for anyone wanting to read and study the Bard's work. I've several volumes in this series and hope to eventually own them all. Each volume contains two identical essays, "The Theatrical World" (which provides a good understanding of the historical context, as well as an idea of just how much we know about Shakespeare as an individual) and "The Texts of Shakespeare" (which gives more historical context and also discusses some of the difficulties which editors have experienced in presenting these plays in print to modern audiences). There is then an introduction to each play, which is best left unread until afterwards if you aren't familiar with the play. The footnotes are few, but well-chosen, and do help in understanding words and phrases whose meanings have changed over the centuries.
Reversing our point of view toward the 'Justice'.......2005-12-16
Anti-festive character who is Shylock on this play sacrificed unjustly. Shylock is a character who is legally invoking his rights as a money-lender among the community which experiencing transition from agriculture society to capitalistic society. Moroever, the character Portia's defending Bassanio as an disguised attorney is unreasonable in some ways and speech is crude, indeed.
In my opinion, to reach the axiomatically righteous conclusion, we should reverse pur point of view toward the 'Justice'. It is a transformation of way of our thinking. Therefore, I recommend rhis masterpiece for someone who aspire to ponder about our human being's viewpoint.
Time has made Merchant into a tragedy.......2005-12-06
Shylock is the only sympathetic character in the play. Modernity has altered the villain in "The Merchant of Venice" from Shylock to the entire cast of characters EXCEPT for Shylock. Any sense of comedy in the play died for those with a sense of religious tolerance, and Shylock comes off as merely oppressed. I found Act 5 almost nauseating after the forced conversion. That, coupled with the happy racism makes a perversion of decency and happy endings. This play is a tragedy. The recent movie version done starring Al Pacino turned it into a tragedy, and amazingly, a play written as a comedy seems to work very well as a tragedy.
Antonio gladly spits upon Shylock and calls him a dog, but stunningly, when Antonio finds himself in a financial pinch he goes to Shylock for money. More brash is Antonio's promise to act the same in the future: "I am as like to call thee so again, / To spet on thee again, to spurn thee, too." (1.3.127-28) From this point on, sympathy for Antonio is paralyzed in a modern reader's mind, from reminders of past images, from slavery and anti-Semitism, where the dehumanizing of a group of people is accepted by a society. The entire text afterward reads like an indictment of humanity, as if Shakespeare is making the Elizabethans laugh at their own behavior.
In perhaps the best argument in Shylock's defense in the trial, he point out the fact that those who speak of mercy own slaves. "What judgment shall I dread, doing no wrong? / You have among you many a purchased slave." (4.1.89-90) Shylock, as fanatical as he is over the pound of flesh, is asking for only a pound of a man, when the slaveholders own the entire person. The play is littered with prejudiced remarks that clearly show how animalistic Shylock was to them.
Every conversation involving Shylock has ridicule from the Christians, without remorse or a feeling of comedy. The Christian children are taught to mock Shylock, they run after him in the street. The merchants spit on him, the Duke reviles him, his daughter renounces her religion and robs him.
Still an amazing story, with a few of the best on mercy and prejudice ever written.
Book Description
The Desire and Pursuit of the Whole stands as a uniquely scurrilous sensual testament to Frederick Rolfe's fervent affection for the physical beauty of the city of Venice and it's a inhabitants. This is the Death in Venice, Thomas Mann would not have dared to write and is one of the classic books on Venice at a time when it served as an home for undesirables from all over Europe as well as erotic vacation destinations for some in the way Asia is today. Published posthumously in 1934, the original edition was heavily edited version and only first published in its entirety in 1993. Since new photographs of Rolfe and his world have come to light and this is the first annotated edition which clearly identifies who is who in the book.

Love and Death in Venice.......2006-12-04
I find the Desire and the Pursuit of the Whole difficult to evaluate in the typical terms used to describe fiction. The book, and presumably Rolfe's other works, seem to exist on their own plane and cannot fit into the comfortable categories invented for the era's literature. One can ascribe terms to him, naturally, but none of these ring true on close examination, for Rolfe is too filled with contradictions to ever be fully pinned down. Rolfe is not conventionally 'decadent', despite having all of the hallmarks: he was a pederast, had a fondness for the medieval and the obscurities of history, and a morbid and self-destructive personality (all characteristics which are manifested in this autobiographical work). But at the same time, he was deeply Catholic in the purest sense, not 'aesthetic Catholicism', as practiced by Huysmans and the like, but rather the real thing, and he held a deep belief in the purity and importance of the Mother Church. Furthermore, he was madly proud and bore a deeply ingrained sense of duty and morality, tending to lash out against anything which offended his deeply-ingrained sensibilities (even if this offense was an offer of much-needed assistance). He was not a refined, pampered aesthete, for he had a strange understanding of and admiration for a naturalistic way of life. Despite Rolfe's ornate and antiquated writing style, he is a far easier and immediately enjoyable read than, say, Henry James, and his idiosyncratic style is easily adapted to.
Although the story is apparently told in the third-person from a man who had the story related to him by the two chief characters in the book, Nicholas Crabbe, the main character and clearly a manifestation of Rolfe, is also functionally the narrator. Much of the book consists of a detailed cataloguing of the various wrongs committed against Nicholas by his literary agents and others in charge of his affairs back in England. These sections, while some may find tedious, are strangely comic, as Rolfe, as Auden put it, was "one of the great masters of vituperation." It is, however, when Rolfe steps away from detailing the innumerable misfortunes of his life, that the book truly succeeds. The silent and tender love which develops between Nicholas and Zildo seems amazingly genuine, and the character of Zildo, for all of the elements of fantasy inherent in him, is compellingly real and touching. The novel, not in spite of, but because of, its fragmented and curious qualities, succeeds. With the Desire and the Pursuit of the Whole, we are left with a most revealing portrait of a misunderstood man.
well worth the effort.......2005-02-06
This is certainly not the novel for those seeking the formulaic rubbish that passes for moden fiction.The beauty of this work is in the writing with the story, fascinating though it is, being secondary. Frederick Rolfe aka Baron Corvo was a strange individual who lived an altogether tragic life - largely because of his own character. Rolfe is almost legendary for his bitterness, cynicism and a shocking willingness to bite the hands that fed ( and generally helped) him. He failed in his ambition to be a priest and often signed his name 'Fr. Rolfe" in an effort to be mistaken for a member of the Clergy.There is an unmistakable fug of the lithurgical in much of his writing as a result.
His personality permeates every sentence of his writing and thus affords something of an insight into the author. Read this book if you are willing to allow yourself to enter his strange world view...otherwise it may well seem like a ponderous exercise. This is by far his best work ( in my humble view) but it is worth tracking down a copy of his other book "Hadrian" if you find youself aching for more of his unique writing.
Less Desirable and more pursuit.......2004-04-10
I've spent the last 2 weeks trying to finish this book and without any success. No wonder no one has read this book.
This story tells of Nicolas Crabbe, a loner author, who meets with Zildo, a breast-less girl, when her town is struck with an earthquake. She refuses to leave him since he did save her. They eventually find their way to Venice where she becomes his servant. No longer is she a female, but dressed in drag as a male. Crabbe who is a semi-famous author is not only known for writing but for making enemy. Some how he finds himself in debt and falling in love for Zildo.
At least that's what I think the story is about.
This is one of the worse novels I have ever read.
The writing is confusing, especially the numerous unnecessary characters. It is written in old English, but with one fatal flaw. The writing is a bit aimless in its pursuit of furthering the plot. The beginning tries to be philosophical in its definition of love, according to Plato. But the entire story moves from a baby's crawl and a snail's slow day. The story was dull. The writing does not express the inner turmoil as much as would be expected because that is, as I suspect, the main conflict.
In all honesty, I have not finish this novel and I really don't plan to. There have been only a handful of novels I haven't finished. This is one of them I probably don't even consider to finish.
I gave it an extra star because the concept is original. Which is; it is an act of homosexuality when you love a female that embodies the ideal male?

Book Description
These works by Sister Bartolomea Riccoboni offer an intimate portrait of the women who inhabited the Venetian convent of Corpus Domini, where they shared a religious life bounded physically by the convent wall and organized temporally by the rhythms of work and worship. At the same time, they show how this cloistered community vibrated with news of the great ecclesiastical events of the day, such as the Great Western Schism and the Council of Constance.
While the chronicle recounts the history of the nuns' collective life, the necrology provides highly individualized biographies of nearly fifty women who died in the convent between 1395 and 1436. We follow the fascinating stories that led these women, from adolescent girls to elderly widows, to join the convent; and we learn of their cultural backgrounds and intellectual accomplishments, their ascetic practices and mystical visions, their charity and devotion to each other and their fortitude in the face of illness and death.
The personal and social meaning of religious devotion comes alive in these texts, the first of their kind to be translated into English.
Customer Reviews:
A Great Read!.......2005-11-10
This book was very enjoyable and can be read within a couple of hours. It was emotionally moving to read of the devoted and resolute women of the convent a number of whom were only seven years old!

Beautiful Example of Modern Murano Glass Works!.......2000-04-15
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book! It is a good combination of historical background, short artist bio's and photographs. The book gives you a good feel for the design and style of the glass produced between the 1930's and 1970's. Beautiful color plates of the individual pieces.
