Trieste È Un'altra

A travelogue covering symbolic locations in Trieste. From Porto Vecchio to the Hotel Balkan, from the Molo Audace to the Sant'Anna cemetery, a ten-stop journey in the city of Italo Svevo and Umberto Saba, an eternal borderland perpetually hovering between a mythified past and a motionless present. The author describes his motorcycle tour through areas unknown to tourists and sometimes even to Trieste residents. He draws on eyewitness accounts and numerous personal portraits to reconstruct the city's modern history. 1st ed.: October 2011 2nd impression: March 2012 1st German edition: Triest ist anders, (c) Kitab Verlag, Klagenfurt 2012
