A haunting amalgam of travelogue, autobiography and impressionist
sketch book
*Literary Review*
Claudio Magris is engaged on a seductively exciting journey of the
imagination, which enriches and enthrals
*Irish Times*
Microcosms, in its subtly magical blend of the public and the
personal, of the inner voice and the voices without, of the café
and of the study, of the hearth and of the world, is a unique and
wonderful achievement
*New York Review of Books*
A haunting series of evocations and recollections... the very
antithesis of your run-of-the-mill travel book
*Observer*
