«Im Licht der Lagune» is the historical novel by Hanns-Josef Ortheil published by btb Taschenbuch in paperback (320 pages, in German).
In eighteenth-century Venice, Count di Barbaro rescues a young amnesiac with an exceptional talent for painting. Caterina Nardi, the count's neighbour, makes him her inseparable companion, and between desire and creation a play of glances is woven; the novel evokes the splendour of Venice and heralds the arrival of the painter William Turner.
The work, originally written in German, combines historical novel and romance and was published in December 2000.
A work for those seeking a Venetian historical setting with art and desire at its core.
