La exposición is a work by Claudio Magris that narrates the destiny of the Triestine painter Vito Timmel, who died in a mental asylum. Through the voices of friends, jailers, and nurses, his wandering life is reconstructed, marked by sanguine characters, loved and lost women, and a decaying Central European culture. In a Babel of languages, Timmel seeks to save himself in oblivion, torn between killing the past and making it live, loving life and stifling this love that causes him pain. It is a story of longing for freedom and life at the moment of the end, a poetic and musically rich text in contrasts between utopia and disenchantment.
Claudio Magris is an Italian scholar, translator and writer. He was a senator for Friuli-Venezia Giulia from 1994 to 1996.
