Description
Trieste and the Meaning of Nowhere is a deeply personal exploration of a city that has come to represent the author's own life. First visited as a soldier at the end of the Second World War, Trieste has since become a source of inspiration and reflection for Jan Morris.
This book is a collection of thoughts and observations on a wide range of subjects, from the city's modern history to its everyday life. Morris reflects on the city's complex past, from its growth under the Habsburgs to its years of Fascist rule and the Cold War, and explores the ways in which it has shaped her own experiences and perceptions.
Part travelogue, part meditation, Trieste and the Meaning of Nowhere is a unique and thought-provoking book that offers a glimpse into the city and its people. It is neither a history nor a travel book, but rather a personal and introspective exploration of a place that has become a part of the author's identity.
