Danube A sentimental journey from the source to the Black Sea
by Claudio Magris
Category: History

A journey through the history and culture of the Danube, from the Bavarian hills, through Austro-Hungary and the Balkans, to the Black Sea. In each town Magris raises the ghosts that inhabit the houses and monuments: Kafka and Freud, Wittgenstein and Marcus Aurelius, and Heidegger and Celine.
