Danube by Claudio Magris
In this acclaimed international bestseller, Claudio Magris tracks the Danube River, setting his finger on the pulse of Central Europe, the crucible of a culture that draws on influences of East and West, Christianity and Islam. In each town he raises the ghosts that inhabit the houses and monuments, from Ovid and Marcus Aurelius to Kafka and Canetti, in a fascinating blend of anecdote and history (San Francisco Examiner).
Claudio Magris, celebrated scholar, was professor of Germanic studies at the universities of Torino and Trieste. He is the internationally acclaimed author of Danube and Microcosms and winner of the Premio Strega (1997), Praemium Erasmianum (2001), Premio Principe de Asturias (2004), Friedenspreis des Deutschen Buchhandels (2009), and Kafka Prize (2016). His recent works include Blameless and Journeying. Anne Milano Appel is an award-winning translator from the Italian who has translated works by Claudio Magris, Paolo Giordano, Primo Levi, and Giovanni Arpino.
