Before the onslaught of World War One, Trieste was a unique urban environment and the largest port in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It was a financially powerful city and a cosmopolitan centre where Slavic, Germanic, and Italian cultures intersected. Much of Slataper's oeuvre is highly influenced by Trieste's cultural complexity and its multi-ethnic environment. Slataper's major literary achievement, My Karst and My City--a fictionalized, lyrical autobiography, translated here in its entirety--offers a unique example of an Italian modernist narrative, one that is influenced both by Slataper's collaboration with the Florentine journal La Voce, and by the Germanic and Scandinavian literature that he absorbed while living in Trieste. My Karst and My City, together with the excerpts from his reflections on Ibsen and other critical essays included here, adds a new voice and a different dimension to our understanding of European modernism."--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aLorenzo da Ponte Italian library. 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / European / Italian$2bisacsh 608 $aTranslations.$2fast 610 $a1. 610 $a20th. 610 $aAustro-Hungarian empire. 610 $aI. 610 $aItalian nationalism. 610 $aLa Voce. 610 $aOne. 610 $aScipio Slataper. 610 $aTrieste. 610 $aTriestine literature. 610 $aTriestine. 610 $aWWI. 610 $aWorld War. 610 $acentury. 610 $airredentism. 610 $amodernist Italian literature. 610 $apolitics. 610 $atwentieth. 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / European / Italian 676 $a858.91209 686 $acci1icc$2lacc 700 $aSlataper$b Scipio$f1888-1915,$0158726 702 $aCoda$b Elena 702 $aBenson$b Nicholas$f1966- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818718903321 996 $aMy Karst and my city$94001769 997 $aUNINA
