520 _aClaudio Magris ventures into the heart of Middle European civilization. Beginning with the controversies about the sources of the Danube, and travelling finally to its several mouths, Magris takes up all that lies between the river, its region, its culture. This book is a catalogue of his stories and belief that is both panoramic and specific. It is a travelogue and a joyous act of scholarship, including ¨not only visual images, but old prefaces and playbills, railway station gossip, funerary and metaphysical incriptions, newspaper clippings, and notices pinned up in taverns and parish halls¨.
