MEDITERRANEO UN NUOVO BREVIARIO (ROMANIAN ED. )
PREDRAG MATVEJEVIC


When entering the Mediterranean, we choose first of all a starting point : shore or scene, port or event, navigation or tale. After, it becomes less important to know where we started while it is more important to know where we have arrived : what we have seen and how.
These are the first lines of the book, which has now become a classic, written by Predrag Matvejevic, eminent Romanist at Zagreb University, Professor at Sorbonne and outstanding European intellectual, in his mother tongue, the Croatian, in 1987. The new Italian edition published by Garzanti has been revised, corrected and widened with whole chapters.
In his preface, Claudio Magris strongly states that a “great voice from ‘Mitteleurope‘ – that is a continental world, with large Croatian-Pannonian plains – has written a brilliant, unexpected and shocking book on the Mediterranean, which adds to cultural historiography as well as to the true literature about sea, with its millenary poetic treasures that challenge the ones sunk in the depths”.
The Mediterranean Laboratory Foundation has collaborated in realising the Romanian edition.
