Howells recoge en Vida veneciana sus recuerdos de los dos años en que, en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, residió en Venecia como miembro del cuerpo diplomático estadounidense. En estas páginas, según Henry James, Howells se muestra como uno de los escritores norteamericanos con mayor encanto, gracias a su agudeza y a su vivacidad como observador, y como un viajero sentimental, que nos sirve de guía por los lugares menos conocidos pero más cotidianos de la ciudad de los canales. Aunque los gloriosos años de la Serenísima República ya han pasado y la ciudad, tras perder su fulgor y su poder, permanece adormilada en manos de la dominación austríaca, aún son muchos los rincones y anécdotas donde late una vida llena de pasión y belleza. El libro está impregnado de cierto tono poético, y por sus mejores pasajes circulan personajes anónimos muy comunes de la vida cotidiana de la ciudad. Observador incansable y detallista, Howells nos llama la atención hacia gran cantidad de cosas insignificantes que conforman el día a día de una ciudad que no se resiste a olvidar las cosas que hacen que la vida resulte agradable. Howells, según Henry James, está a la altura de Hawthorne, y logra que la literatura sea una parte fascinante de nuestras vidas.

Una encantadora novela sobre la amistad, el amor y las relaciones familiares en la tradición de Rosamunde Pilcher. Para Victoria, la casa veneciana, el hogar de su abuela griega en la isla de Corfú, siempre había sido un sitio mágico donde se sentía alegre y libre. Allí había pasado todos los veranos con su adorado primo Guy y su amigo Richard. Ella pensó que su amistad duraría toda la vida. Victoria terminó casándose con Richard y se sentía feliz; pero la muerte repentina de su marido supone el fin de todas sus ilusiones. Entonces, en contra de los consejos de su familia, la joven viuda se refugia otra vez en la casa veneciana con su hijo pequeño. En Grecia tratará de reconstruir su vida, pero antes de enfrentarse al futuro, deberá averiguar la verdad sobre el pasado... La crítica ha dicho... «Un cuento multigeneracional narrado con profunda sensibilidad. Grandioso y compasivo. Un libro para dejarse embargar por su historia.» Katie Fforde «Una novela vigorosa.» The Times

Excerpt from Venetian Life, Vol. 2 Of Aquileja had long been disturbers of the Republic's dominion, and the people now determined to make an end of these displeasures. They refused, therefore, to release the patriarch, except on condition that he should bind himself to send them annually a bull and twelve fat hogs. It is not known what meaning the patriarch attached to this singular ceremony; but with the Vene tians the bull was typical of himself, and the swine of his canons, and they yearly suflered death in these ani mals, which were slaughtered during Shrovetide in the Piazza San Marco amid a great concourse of the people, in the presence of the Doge and Signory. The lock smiths, and other workers in iron, had distinguished themselves in the recapture of Grado, and to their guild was allotted the honor of putting the bull and swine to death. Great art was shown in striking off the bull's head at one blow, without suffering the sword to touch the ground after passing through the animal's neck; the swine were slain with lances. Athletic games among the people succeeded, and the Doge and his Senators attacked and destroyed, with staves, several lightly built wooden castles, to symbolize the abasement of the feudal power before the Republic. As the centuries advanced, this part of the ceremony, together with the slaughter of the swine, was disused in which fact Mr. Ruskin sees evidence of a corrupt disdain of Simple and healthy allegory on the part of the proud doges, but in which I think most people will discern only a natural wish to discontinue in more civilized times a puerile barbarity.
