My Karst and My City and Other Essays is the first book available in English on the work of Scipio Slataper, one of the most prominent intellectuals active in Trieste at the turn of the twentieth century.

"This volume is an important milestone in the literary criticism of Trieste, a valuable companion in future explorations of the Adriatic city that makes Slataper’s rich and multifaceted work finally available in English"
