Venice

from      The Aspern Papers by  Henry James:

I don’t know why it happened that on this occasion I was more than ever struck with that queer air of sociability, of cousinship and family life, which makes up half the expression of Venice. Without streets and vehicles, the uproar of wheels, the brutality of horses, and with its little winding ways where people crowd together, where voices sound as in the corridors of a house, where the human step circulates as if it skirted the angles of furniture and shoes never wear out, the place has the character of an immense collective apartment, in which Piazza San Marco is the most ornamented corner and palaces and churches, for the rest, play the part of great divans of repose,

A VIDA DOS LIVROS

A VIDA DOS LIVROS

“Há dias, em Cracóvia, recordámos, com sentimento de gratidão, o conde Atanazy Raczynski (1788-1874), autor de duas obras fundamentais sobre a História da Arte portuguesa: “Les Arts en Portugal – Lettres adressées à la Societé Scientifique de Berlin et accompagnées de documents”, 1846, e “Diccionnaire histórico-artistique du Portugal”, 1847 (ambos disponíveis na Internet).

As obras são extraordinárias pela minúcia e rigor e abriram novos horizontes na historiografia. Invocamo-las hoje, no início do relato do nosso périplo pela Europa Oriental.”
- Guilherme d’Oliveira Martins -
