Description
Danube by Claudio Magris is a thought-provoking journey along the river that forms the border between Eastern and Western Europe. From its source in the Bavarian hills to its empty delta at the Black Sea, Magris explores the complex history and culture of Central Europe.
Along the way, he encounters a rich tapestry of influences, from ancient Greece and Rome to Christianity and Islam. As he travels through Austro-Hungary and the Balkans, Magris uncovers the stories of the people who have lived and shaped this vital region.
This book is a fascinating exploration of the Danube River's significance in Central Europe, and the many cultures that have been influenced by its flow.
