Before the onslaught of World War One, Trieste was a unique urban environment and the largest port in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It was a financially powerful city and a cosmopolitan centre where Slavic, Germanic, and Italian cultures intersected. Much of Slataper’s oeuvre is highly influenced by Trieste’s cultural complexity and its multi-ethnic environment.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSlataper’s major literary achievement, \u003cem\u003eMy Karst and My City\u003c\/em\u003e – a fictionalized, lyrical autobiography, translated here in its entirety – offers a unique example of an Italian modernist narrative, one that is influenced both by Slataper’s collaboration with the Florentine journal \u003cem\u003eLa Voce\u003c\/em\u003e, and by the Germanic and Scandinavian literature that he absorbed while living in Trieste. \u003cem\u003eMy Karst and My City\u003c\/em\u003e, together with the excerpts from his reflections on \u003cem\u003eIbsen\u003c\/em\u003e and other critical essays included here, adds a new voice and a different dimension to our understanding of European modernism. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54256811999576,"sku":"9781487508227","price":55.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781487508227.jpg?v=1778573726","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/my-karst-and-my-city-and-other-essays","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
