Venetian Novel

November. In the foggy, rainy Venice, two people meet: the weathered tour guide Mr. Silvera and the nameless heroine — a wealthy and noble young lady who is searching for ancient paintings for auctions. Despite the difference in age and status, a passionate romance ignites between them. However, this story is not just about love: the heroine is tormented by a secret that Mr. Silvera keeps. His remarkable education and almost mystical knowledge of Venice suggest that he has lived more than one life, and his past and present are directly linked to the biblical legend of Agasfer, doomed to eternal wandering. So who is this Mr. Silvera? The novel is written in an exquisite intellectual style, which critics have called «Wagnerian motif, performed by Mozart's hands». The authors, with their characteristic brilliance, describe the world of tourists and aristocracy, creating «an interesting sample of humanity». The genre of the novel can be characterized as a detective, although there are no corpses here, only a forgery of a painting to deceive customs, and the investigation concerns not so much this crime as the mystery of human personality. A brilliant novel that will make you want to immediately go to Venice after reading!
