Книга: Joseph Brodsky «Watermark: An Essay on Venice»
Производитель: "Penguin Books Ltd." Серия: "Modern Classics" Reading Brodsky`s essays is like a conversation with an immensely erudite, hugely entertaining and witty (and often very funny) interlocutor. This collection of forty-eight short pieces on Venice showcase Joseph Brodsky at his very best: witty, intelligent, moving and elegant. Looking at every aspect of Venice, from its waterways, streets and architecture to its food, politics and people, Brodsky captures the magnificence and beauty of the city, and recalls his own memories of the place he called home for many winters, as he remembers friends, lovers and enemies he has encountered. Watermark is an unforgettable piece of writing, and a wonderful portrait of a remarkable, unique city. This title is winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature. Издательство: "Penguin Books Ltd." (2013) Формат: 130x195, 144 стр.

Quotes
* "Were we to choose our leaders on the basis of their reading experience and not their political programs, there would be much less grief on earth. I believe—not empirically, alas, but only theoretically--that for someone who has read a lot of Dickens to shoot his like in the name of an idea is harder than for someone who has read no Dickens."
* "Every writing career starts as a personal quest for sainthood, for self-betterment. Sooner or later, and as a rule quite soon, a man discovers that his pen accomplishes a lot more than his soul."
* "There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them. "
