Temps curvilini a Krems

The main characters in the five stories that make up Curvilinear Time in Krems face a time that seems to have no beginning or end, a dimension that extends in all directions. The past and the present are interchangeable, the future doubles in memories and time is a curved line. All five protagonists merge into the same person who, like the author, has reached old age and sees existence from this new privileged perspective. In this volume, full of nuances and emotions, Claudio Magris explores all facets of time, but also talks about identity, borders, love, writing and loss, all of them recurring themes in his work.
