Venetian Life
by William Dean Howells
William Dean Howells was American Consul to Venice for four years. His term ended in 1865.

Please be aware that although Howells admires people of the east and Jews, he uses period terms and idioms which modern readers may find offensive. His views of people of African descent may prove offensive to the modern reader. (Summary by Timothy)
