In 'The Infinite Journey', Claudio Magris invites us on a literary journey through Europe and beyond, exploring the essence of travel as a transformative experience. Through forty chronicles originally published in the Corriere della Sera, Magris reflects on the contrast between the classic circular journey and the modern, rectilinear search, where displacement becomes a way of deferring death. With a prose that blurs the boundaries between narrative, essay and travel book, the author interweaves urban landscapes, everyday objects and historical figures, evoking writers such as Cervantes, Dostoevsky and Günter Grass. This book is an invitation to curiosity and knowledge, an attempt to ward off indifference to the unknown and a profound reflection on European identity in a constantly changing world.
Claudio Magris is an Italian scholar, translator and writer. He was a senator for Friuli-Venezia Giulia from 1994 to 1996.
