SYNOPSIS
Venice, August 20th, 1933.—Here as a joy-hog: a pleasant change after that pension on the Giudecca two years ago. We went to the Lido this morning, and the Doge’s Palace looked more beautiful from a speed-boat than it ever did from a gondola. The bathing, on a calm day, must be the worst in Europe: water like hot saliva, cigar-ends floating into one’s mouth, and shoals of jelly-fish.
Lifar came to dinner. Bertie mentioned that all whales have syphilis.
Venice, August 21st.—After inspecting two palaces, the Labiena, containing Tiepolo’s fresco of Cleopatra’s Banquet, and the Pappadopoli, a stifling labyrinth of plush and royal photographs, we took sanctuary from culture in Harry’s Bar. There was an ominous chatter, a quick-fire of greetings: the English are arriving.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Robert Byron
Robert Byron nasceu em 1905 no Reino Unido, foi aluno de Eton e é considerado um dos maiores autores de literatura de viagens do século XX, além de ter ficado conhecido como crítico de arte e historiador. Viajou pelos lugares mais díspares: o Monte Athos, a Índia, a União Soviética e o Tibete. Começou a publicar os seus relatos de viagem em 1926. Em 1933 visitou a Pérsia e o Afeganistão, viagem que relatou em A Estrada para Oxiana (Tinta-da-china, 2014), obra de referência que Bruce Chatwin descreveu como «um texto sagrado, acima de qualquer crítica». Morreu em 1941, com apenas 35 anos, quando o navio em que viajava enquanto correspondente de guerra foi torpedeado pelos alemães ao largo da Escócia.
