On pourrait dire qu'il s'agit d'un simple Journal, écrit au fil des humeurs, des combats, des espérances. Mais ce n'est pas que cela: dans ce livre, en effet, Alain Juppé consigne non seulement ses convictions, des portraits, des choses vues ou souvenues, mais aussi, et surtout, ses interrogations: qu'en est-il, aujourd'hui, de la politique ? Mérite-t-elle qu'on lui consacre sa vie ? N'est-elle pas, tout compte fait, moins importante que l'art, ou l'amour, ou la beauté ? D'où le titre singulier de cet ouvrage: la Tentation de Venise. Venise - où Alain Juppé se rend souvent afin de réapprendre à respirer et à s'apaiser - est aussi la ville où, mieux qu'ailleurs, ce militant mesure les limites et les insuffisances de sa propre vie. D'où ce livre en forme de confession.
