Jan Morris creates a personal portrait of Trieste, its history and its melancholy.
The book's attraction is the meeting of an actual place with a traveller's sustained imaginative attachment. Choose it for readers who enjoy travel writing that does not have to function as an itinerary. The city becomes a way of thinking about time, displacement and the peculiar intimacy of returning in memory.
WHO IS IT FOR?
For readers interested in reported lives, ideas and the forces shaping contemporary experience.
