Microcosms

byClaudio Magris, Iain Halliday (Translator)
In the tiny borderlands of Istria and Italy, from the forests of Monte Nevoso, to the hidden valleys of the Tyrol, to a Trieste café, Microcosms pieces together a mosaic of stories - comic, tragic, picaresque, nostalgic - from life's minor characters. Their worlds might be small, but they are far from minimalist: in them flashes the great, the meaningful, the unrepeatable significance of every existence.
A haunting amalgam of travelogue, autobiography and impressionist sketch book
Jonathan Keates, Literary Review
