Paperback / softback
Description
Claudio Magris is one of Italy's - and Europe's - most renowned thinkers and writers.
He is considered an authority on central European literature and culture and is frequently interviewed about his hometown Trieste, the region called Mitteleuropa and the European Union.
But what makes Magris such a relevant figure on the European literary scene?European Vistas aims to answer this question by analysing the three most central elements in Magris' novels - history, ethics and identity - in relation to contemporary Europe.
His choice of particular histories are considered in terms of the ethical ideas and values that motivate him as well as the relevance of these stories for Europe.
The book also explores Magris' understanding and narration of identity and its potential for a transnational mode of identification, specifically within the European context.
Ultimately, the author demonstrates why Magris' ideas about history, ethics and identity are fundamental for Europe's future.
