Király Edit - Olivia Spiridon - A folyó - Egy másfajta Duna-antológia

Rivers are usually seen as smooth lines that cross borders and blur differences. The river, which is the subject of our anthology, is a sprawling landscape. It not only connects the source and the estuary, the different cities and countries on its shores, but also makes visible hidden and intricate connections, as well as contrasts, achronic simultaneities, and reveals the fragmented nature of the region itself. In short: this is no ordinary river.
Although the annotated collection of texts invites you to travel, it does not follow the "natural" course of the river, but illuminates the central important topos of the Danube landscape in a total of 24 chapters: for example, "Source", "Riverbank", "Island", "Bridges" ", "Cities" or even "Crossings", "War", "Defeats".

"The Danube as the sine qua non of Europe. The fluid code of cultural diversity. The pulse of the continent. River of history. River of time. River of culture. River of love. Shackle connecting peoples. Freedom shackle." (Péter Esterházy: Countess Hahn-Hahn's look - down the Danube -)
