Magris’ berømte hybridværk, der rummer en fascinerende rejse i tid og rum med Donau-områdets blomstrende kultur som knudepunkt. Magris introduceret med Donau en helt ny genre mellem roman og essay, dagbog og selvbiografi, kulturhistorie og rejsebeskrivelse: en totalt opslugende sammensmeltning af oplevelse og viden om litteratur, kunst, historie, som fører sin læser de 3000 kilometer ned ad Donau, fra udspringet i Schwarzwald til deltaet i Sortehavet. Pressen skriver: »Stemningen er næsten magisk, og det er næsten som at være der selv. Man får lyst til at følge i hans fodspor og foretage samme rejse« – Charlotte Jakobsen, Lektør »En bog der bærer Klogskabens duft […] Ny udgivelse af Donau viser tydeligt, hvorfor Claudio Magris så ofte sættes i forbindelse med Nobel-prisen. […] Det er jo genialt!« – Arne Mariager, Vejle Amts Folkeblad
A writer for whom the journey has always mattered reinvents the very form itself in this inviting collection of in-the-moment impressions of his journeys
From one of Europe's most revered authors, a tale of one man's obsessive project to collect the instruments of death, evil, and humanity's darkest atrocities in order to oppose them
Early this century Enrico, a young intellectual, leaves the abundantly diverse Austro-Hungarian city of Gorizia with its mixed population and culture, to spend several years living on the Patagonian pampas, alone with his ancient Greek texts, his flocks and every now and then a woman.
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY RICHARD FLANAGANIn this fascinating journey Claudio Magris, whose knowledge is encyclopaedic and whose curiosity limitless, guides his reader from the source of the Danube in the Bavarian hills through Austro-Hungary and the Balkans to the Black Sea.
In his acclaimed work Danube, Claudio Magris painted a vast canvas stretching from the source of the river to the Black Sea. From the forests of Monte Nevoso, to the hidden valleys of the Tyrol, to a Trieste cafe, Microcosms pieces together a mosaic of stories - comic, tragic, picaresque, nostalgic - from life's minor characters.
