But on November 4, 1966, the rising waters of the Arno threatened to erase over seven centuries of history and human achievement. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow Robert Clark explores the Italian city's greatest flood and its aftermath through the voices of its witnesses. Two American artists wade through the devastated beauty; a photographer stows away on an army helicopter to witness the tragedy first-hand; a British \"mud angel\" spends a month scraping mold from the world's masterpieces; and, through it all, an author asks why art matters so very much to us, even in the face of overwhelming disaster.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Clark\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Anchor Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/06\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.26w x 0.77d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780767926492\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eROBERT CLARK is the author of the novels\u003ci\u003e In the Deep Midwinter\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Mr. White's Confession\u003c\/i\u003e, and\u003ci\u003e Love Among the Ruins\u003c\/i\u003e as well as the nonfiction books\u003ci\u003e My Grandfather's House\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e River of the West\u003c\/i\u003e, and\u003ci\u003e The Solace of Food: A Life of James Beard\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anchor Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44114239422579,"sku":"9.78077E+12","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_3c1b5c4e-32fd-4272-80fb-37422bd8c47a.jpg?v=1764163412","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/dark-water-art-disaster-and-redemption-in-florence-9780767926492","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
