«Um outro Mar» is the novel by Claudio Magris, published by Edições Asa in paperback (112 pages, in Portuguese).
The novel follows Enrico, a young intellectual from Gorizia who, at the beginning of the 20th century, leaves Europe to settle in Argentine Patagonia in search of a more authentic and solitary life; on his return, he withdraws to the Istrian coast. Magris interweaves this physical journey with a reflection on identity, rootlessness and the clash between European civilization and nature, set against the decline of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Novel originally published in Italian as «Un altro mare» in 1991. This Portuguese edition appeared in 1993 in the Letras do Mundo collection, with a translation by Simonetta Neto.
