A writer for whom the journey has always mattered reinvents the
very form itself in this inviting collection of in-the-moment
impressions of his journeys A writer of enormous erudition and
wide-ranging travels, Claudio Magris selects for this volume
writings penned during trips and wanderings over the span of
several decades. He has traveled through these years with many
beloved companions, to whom he dedicates the book, and sought the
kind of journey "that occurs when you abandon yourself to [the
gentle current of time] and to whatever life brings." Taken
together Magris's essays share a clearly identified theme. They
represent the motif of the journey in all its aspects-literary,
metaphysical, spiritual, mythical, philosophical, historical-as
well as the author's comprehensive understanding of the subject or,
one might say, of his own way of being in the world. Traveling from
Spain to Germany to Poland, Norway, Vietnam, Iran, and Australia,
he records particular moments and places through a highly personal
lens. A writer's writer and a reader's traveler, Magris proves that
wandering is equal part wondering.
