Renowned professor Thomas F. Madden focuses his expertise on what has been called the most beautiful city in the world: Venice. In these lectures, Professor Madden explains how the city on the lagoon was established by refugees escaping the onslaught of northern “barbarians” invading the crumbling Roman Empire. Through its history, Venice housed the world’s leading merchants, thrived as a maritime powerhouse, and developed into an independent republic not unlike the present United States. Venice draws millions of visitors each year, and these lectures shed light on why the city is such a continual source of fascination.

Wow! Venice has the most amazing, influential and seedy history, I had no idea. This professor is very good at explaining a fascinating subject. One of my favorites under the Modern Scholar Michael Drout lectures. I wish there was more.

Fascinating, Action Packed History

An amazing book on the history of Venice. Perfect for anyone who wants to visit. I would love if he did this series for several European cities.

I would liked to have heard more about the history of the Jews in Venice because I think that was a little white washed.

Absolutely fascinating

Would you listen to The Modern Scholar: A History of Venice again? Why?

Selected chapters would be worth a review. The story of Venice as told in this audiobook has connected the dots of my understanding of European history, the Byzantine Empire, Napoleon, the Ottoman Empire and much much more.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Modern Scholar: A History of Venice?

The moment when, faced by the firepower of 18th century naval ships, Venice realised that the lagoon no longer offered the protection that drew the first Venetians so many centuries earlier.

What three words best describe the narrator’s voice?

Earnest, engaging, correct.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

No.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Modern Scholar: A History of Venice to be better than the print version?

I always love audio version of lectures. Because I don't have much time to sit still and hold my books.

What does the narrator bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I love the way he performed that to me more like entertaining while I learn more about Venice, that I wouldn't get the experience if I just read any book about the history Venice

Any additional comments?

I have some expectation when I visit Venice someday thanks for this lecture. I will not just enjoy the scenery, but perceive the city that has fascinating ancient history, with all that unique and antique beauty.

What made the experience of listening to The Modern Scholar: A History of Venice the most enjoyable?

Easy to listen too yet enough depth and details to make it hard to put on pause. I liked the small details that he manages to add to the otherwise high-level story line.

Great entertainment

Well Researched & Entertaining

Having been to Venice many times. It amazes me to realize how little I had previously known about its history. This lecture series has been greatly satisfying. I would recommend it to anyone, even those who haven't been there. But do try to see it.
