Fifty Years of Europe: An Album [Idioma Inglés] - Softcover

This extraordinary collection of astute observations and reflections on Europe in the second half of this century is defined by its author as an album. Taking the seaport of Trieste as a starting and finishing point, FIFTY YEARS OF EUROPE: AN ALBUM ranges from evocations of megalithic religion to sensations of barge travel on the Rhine, from the gloom of Warsaw during the Cold War to the weird euphoria of Albania in the 1990s. The author's fifty years' experience of the European continent is recorded here in the varied form of portraits, vignettes, quotations, episodes of reminiscence and passages of contemplation and comparison. It forms a panoramic if idiosyncratic impression of Europe in a period of fateful transition.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
