Claudio Magris (born April 10, 1939) is an Italian scholar, translator and writer. ==Life and prizes== Magris graduated from the University of Turin, where he studied German studies, and has been a professor of modern German literature at the University of Trieste since 1978. He is an essayist and columnist for the Italian newspaper ''Corriere della Sera'' and for other European journals and newspapers. His numerous studies have helped to promote an awareness in Italy of Central European culture and of the literature of the Habsburg myth. Magris is a member of several European academies and served as senator in the Italian Senate from 1994 to 1996. His first book on the Habsburg myth in modern Austrian literature rediscovered central European literature. His journalistic writings have been collected in ''Dietro le parole'' ("Behind Words", 1978) and ''Itaca e oltre'' ("Ithaca and Beyond", 1982). He has written essays on E.T.A. Hoffmann, Henrik Ibsen, Italo Svevo, Robert Musil, Hermann Hesse and Jorge Luis Borges. His novels and theatre productions, many translated into several languages, include ''Illazioni su una sciabola'' (1984), ''Danubio'' (1986), ''Stadelmann'' (1988), ''Un altro mare'' (1991), and ''Microcosmi'' (1997). His breakthrough was ''Danubio'' (1986), which is a magnum opus. In this book (said by the author to be a "drowned novel"), Magris tracks the course of the Danube from its sources to the sea. The whole trip evolves into a colorful, rich canvas of the multicultural European history. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Claudio Magris」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
