Used book – The Children of Venice, Luca Di Fulvio, Françoise Brun

Venice, 1515. Few cities have known as much injustice, danger, misery, and vice. And freedom, too.

Freedom for Mercurio, a petty street thief, a master of disguise, for whom the Roman pavement has become too hot. Freedom for Giuditta, a young and beautiful Jewish woman, whose religion seems tolerated here - but for how long?

Nothing destined them to fall in love. Yet... Between inquisitors and courtesans, palaces, cutthroat alleys, and putrid canals, the lovers of Venice will defy destiny...

"From the first to the last page, a delight." Delphine Peras – L'Express "The Italian writer Luca Di Fulvio is on his way to becoming a true literary phenomenon." Nicolas Lemarignier – France 2
