According to Lev Losev, in English and in Russian it is “read as a poetic text by Par Excellence”. On the modern maps of Venice, the embankment of inexhaustible does not exist, but at the beginning of the 17th century, such a name was received by a place where a hospital for patients with a plague was located. This is part of the modern Dzatter embankment; There and today you can see signs reminding about hundreds of thousands of victims of the epidemic: "Dzatter, the former inexhaustible." John Apdaik wrote: “The Essay Essery of Inexperienced is an attempt to turn a point on a globe into a window into a world of universal experiences, the private experience of a chronic Venetian tourist is a crystal, whose facets would reflect the fullness of life... the main source of the lights emanating from these facilities There is pure beauty. " In this edition, the essay is published in two languages ​​- Russian and English (translation of Grigory Dashevsky).
