Focusing on Central Europe; the volume proposes a new paradigm of how culture works; based on a model of "inhabited ruins" as a space where contradictory elements come together into continually renewed and frequently paradoxical configurations. Examines art; architecture; literature and music.

A Wonderful BookBy BrentA wonderful book written in simple but beautifully descriptive Italian. Might be a bit challenging for newcomers to the Italian language but should be suitable for improvers or more advanced. Reading it on Kindle Touch makes it much easier to check an unknown word - simply touching the word highlights it and brings up an English translation. Possibly one of the best books Ive read in any language.
