This book celebrates, in words and full-color photographs, the adventure of living in the world's most astonishing city. The author's Venice is at eye level, a labyrinth of impressions, a museum of delights for that vanishing man, the walker. "The mind-boggling gift of Venice," he assures us, "is that it has escaped the tyranny of wheels." Man walks, strolls and dawdles; he does not run for his life. Although only the experience of living in Venice will fully accustom the visitor to a fact so unique, Wright Morris combines words and photographs to recapture the essence of this experience, sharing with the reader impressions of a particular moment in a fabulous place.

"When I was a boy of eight in the Platte Valley of Nebraska, my father made the first of the many moves that would prove to be of interest to a future writer of fiction. They were east to Chicago, the point on the map where all the lines pointed. Almost twenty years would pass before I would seek to recapture the past that I had experienced.
The Works of Loveis the first fruit of that effort, and the linchpin in my novels concerned with the plains. The reader who has read The Home Place or The Field of Vision will find in this novel the crux of an experience I frequently return to but never exhaust."—Wright Morris
