Danúbio, de Claudio Magris, é um dos grandes romances europeus do nosso tempo -um romance classificado na categoria de literatura de viagens, cujo tema principal serve de pretexto para explorar e dissertar sobre a cultura centro-europeia, ou seja, da Mitteleuropa. Danúbio obteve o Prémio Príncipe das Astúrias das Artes em 2004. No entanto, o romance foi escrito durante o período do alargamento da União Europeia, no início dos anos oitenta do século XX. Magris serve-se do Grande Rio que a travessa a Europa Central como se fosse o fio de Ariadne, isto é uma linha de orientação para atravessar o conjunto de culturas e etnias que se entrecruzam, sobrepõem mas raras vezes se misturam ou diluem umas nas outras insistindo, pelo contrário, no esforço de preservar uma identidade cultural face à força do federalismo e da standartização cultural e económica. Essa viagem através do Danúbio (atravessando a Alemanha, a Áustria, a Hungria, a antiga Jugoslávia, a Roménia e a Turquia), o grande rio europeu, é a viagem pela história e pelo imaginário do nosso continente. Uma obra-prima. Danúbio de Cláudio Magris

Publicado em 1986, Danubio resulta de uma experiencia de viagem feita pelo autor atraves da Europa Central no inicio da decada de 1980. As vesperas do desmoronamento da Cortina de Ferro, o germanista italiano Claudio Magris se vale do trajeto do grande rio europeu como fio condutor para percorrer de ponta a ponta a historia cultural e politica dos paises que viram surgir Kafka e o Terceiro Reich, Elias Canetti e o campo de concentracao de Mauthausen, Wittgensteine o arquiduque Francisco Ferdinando, Freud e o carrasco nazista Adolf Eichmann. Com um estilo sobrio e cheio de empatia, ora alegre ora melancolico, o narrador reconstitui um mural cujas figuras parecem ganhar vida. Paisagens, personagens e reflexoes se entrecruzam em um conjunto complexo e fascinante,no qual as maravilhas e os horrores do passado recente se apresentam com rara forca. Sem dogmatismos ou visoes estereotipadas, Magris percorre esse campo minado da Europa recolhendo os fragmentos eas ruinas que a historia foi amontoando ao longo do tempo. O resultado literario dessa viagem intelectual e, ndiscutivelmente, uma obra-prima do seculo XX.

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. 1980: Austrian Cross of Honour for Science and Art, 1st class 1987: Bagutta Prize for Danubio 1990: French Award for Best Foreign Book (essays) for Danubio 1992: Humboldt Research Award from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation 1994: Gold Medal of Honour of the City of Vienna 1995: Honorary doctorate from the University of Klagenfurt 1997: Strega Prize for Microcosmi 2000: Würth Prize for European Literature 1 June 2001: Knight Grand Cross of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic 2001: Erasmus Prize 2001: Leipzig Book Prize for European Understanding (Grand Prize) 2001: Member of the Academy of Arts Berlin 2004: Prince of Asturias Award for Literature 31 July 2006: Austrian State Prize for European Literature 2007: Kythera Award 2008: Walter Hallstein Prize 18 October 2009: Peace Prize of the German Book Trade 2009: Prix Européen de l"Essai Charles Veillon 2009: Prix Jean Monnet European Literature 8 May 2009: Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters of Spain 2 February 2011: Honorary Doctorate of Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium) 2012: Austrian Decoration for Science and Art 2012: Cross of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany 2014: FIL Literary Award in Romance Languages.
