Donna Leon & Toni Sepeda
Brunetti's Venice

Published by Diogenes as Mit Brunetti durch Venedig

What happened, where and why? Toni Sepeda on the trail of Commissario Brunetti. A literary travel guide. Even for armchair travellers. With a preface by Donna Leon. Why does Commissario Brunetti in ›Friends in High Places‹ take a seat in the Torino and not, as is his habit, in the Rosa Salva? Author Toni Sepeda has meticulously retraced Brunetti’s paths through the alleys of Venice and through the novels and carefully collated everything that is set in the vicinity of the Questura, in San Polo or near the Ospedale Civile etc. Her tried and tested tours – interspersed with Donna Leon quotes – offer something like Ariadne’s thread through the tangle of alleys. ›Brunetti’s Venice‹ allows the reader, either at home or on site, casually to follow Brunetti on his strolls through the City of Water ... Roaming about while letting your thoughts wander, just as Brunetti does: this is what the book invites the reader to do. Published in: the USA (Grove/Atlantic) Spain (Seix Barral and Edicions 62) France (Calmann-Levy) Poland (Noir sur Blanc) UK (Heinemann)
