Claudio Magris offers a collection of brief “snapshots” reflecting on life and culture from 1999 to 2013 through his very personal lens. The panoramic nature of the vignettes is broad in scope, encompassing a variety of subjects rendered in quick, decisive brushstrokes. It is a photo album of our times. / El lector encontrará aquí textos breves capaces de capturar lo que tiende a escurrirse entre los dedos, de retratar con perspicacia y acidez comportamientos humanos, de observar el mundo con una sofisticada mezcla de humor, melancolía, bondad y sabiduría. El resultado es un ramillete de deliciosas miniaturas en las que asoman temas, personajes y situaciones variopintos: la ciudad de Trieste; un episodio cómico vivido en la Galería Leo Castelli de Nueva York que ilustra las imposturas del arte de vanguardia; el modo ridículo en que Thomas Mann se entera del inicio de la Segunda Guerra Mundial; los editores que imponen finales felices a los autores a los que publican; el secreto motivo por el que una conferencia muy erudita y potencialmente soporífera se llena a rebosar; los congresos culturales y el sexo; la soledad de las parejas.
