In 'A ciegas', Claudio Magris presents the story of Salvatore Cippico, a man confined to a mental sanatorium who recalls the most significant moments of his life. His story takes us through the horrors of the 20th century, showing his passage through the Spanish Civil War, his militancy in the Yugoslav army during World War II, his deportation to the Dachau concentration camp, and his subsequent exile to the Goli Otok gulag. Finally, Cippico emigrates to Australia, where he reflects on utopia and personal sacrifice in pursuit of a universal cause. Magris offers us a profound meditation on history, memory, and the search for salvation in the midst of chaos.
Claudio Magris is an Italian scholar, translator and writer. He was a senator for Friuli-Venezia Giulia from 1994 to 1996.
