Watermark: An Essay on Venice

Looking at every aspect of the city, from waterways to streets, architecture, food, politics and people, Watermark is a witty, intelligent and moving portrait of Venice. Joseph Brodsky reflects on the magnificence and beauty of the city, and recalls his memories of a place he called home for many winters, while remembering friends, lovers and enemies he has encountered. Above all, the work contemplates, with poetic force, how the rising tide of time affects the city and its inhabitants. Watermark is an unforgettable piece of writing and a vivid evocation of a remarkable, unique city. The work is associated with Nobel Prize for Literature laureate Joseph Brodsky.
