Cr�ticas:

"Not simply a masterpiece of travel; it is an odyssey... A splendid book, beautifully translated" (Independent)

"A uniquely stimulating and individual portrait of the heart of Europe" (Colin Thubron Sunday Telegraph)

"This book is full of wonder and delights...Magris writes beautifully; he seems to have read everything. His reading has not made just clever but wise. On almost every page there are passages that make the heart life... Danube is a masterpiece" (John Banville)

"This is the best introduction to the culture of central Europe, its genius and its tragedy...a work of great originality, which builds up to a mosaic of spectacle, incident and reflection from which the personalities of the narrator and the Danubian lands emerge" (Daily Telegraph)

"Erudite and original" (New York Review of Books)

Rese�a del editor:

This celebrates a river which has been at the centre of the great movements of history, the crucible of a culture that draws on influences of East and West, of Christendom and Islam. The reader accompanies the author along its course, from the Bavarian hills through Austro-Hungary and the Balkans to the Black Sea. In each town he raises the ghosts that inhabit the houses and monuments - Kafka and Freud, Wittgenstein and Marcus Aurelius, Lukacs, Heidegger and Celine, Canetti and Ovid - philosophers, novelists, diplomats and "condottieri", patriots and politicians.. NOTA: El libro no est� en espa�ol, sino en ingl�s.
