| Description: |
A celebration of a river which has forever been at the centre of the great movements in history. In this fascinating journey through the history and culture of the Danube, the author invites the reader to accompany him along the whole course of the river, from the Bavarian hills to the Black Sea. |
| Synopsis: |
In this fascinating journey Claudio Magris, whose knowledge is encyclopaedic and whose curiosity limitless, guides his reader from the river's source in the Bavarian hills through Austro-Hungary and the Balkans to the Black Sea. Along the way he raises the ghosts that inhabit the houses and monuments - from Ovid and Marcus Aurelius to Kafka and Canetti - and in so doing sets his finger on the pulse of Central Europe, the vital crucible of a culture that draws on influences of East and West, of Christendom and Islam. |
