Description
Trieste and the Meaning of Nowhere is a deeply personal meditation on the city that has captivated Jan Morris for over half a century. This history-drenched city on the Adriatic has been a source of fascination, with its moodiness and changeability reflecting her own life experiences.
A rich tapestry of stories and cultural insights, the book draws on Trieste's complex past, from its empires to its famous visitors, including James Joyce and Sigmund Freud. A lyrical travelogue that also serves as a superb cultural history, this is Jan Morris's elegant and bittersweet farewell.
