Product Description
Humor - Fantasy

THE SECOND VENICE - As The Italian Government puts a limit on the number of tourists to Venice, to protect it from destruction and pollution, an American consortium (McBigBite and Pshht Cola) build beside the real Venice a "Second Venice" which is "bigger and better". This book is the ludicrous story of life in this fake Venice. With its fake canals and gondolas, its fake museums and fake paintings, its "Fake Films" festival, congresses and college and dog shows, the Second Venice attracts a sizeable tourist crowd to compete with the real Venice. Spy stories and thieves as well as heated discussions in its pubs, among tourists of various nationalities add a spice to this marvellous humoristic masterpiece. Finally,a sheikh buys The Second Venice at a bargain price, kidnapping the daughter of a friendly family – a major shareholder of the city. Chapter after chapter this book will make you laugh and will be a pleasant addition to your "humor" library.

About the Author
Prof(Hon.) Architect Askin Ozcan is a master of humor. He has lived and worked in nine countries and travelled extensively in Europe and North America. His humor is therefore "international". He is also the author of many serious articles published internationally and of SMALL MIRACLES, a collection of unusual personal experiences which confirm the existence of God, which will soon be published.
