"Haya Tedeschi sits alone in Gorizia, in northeastern Italy, surrounded by a basket of photographs and newspaper clippings. Now an old woman, she waits to be reunited after sixty-two years with her son, fathered by an SS officer and stolen from her by the German authorities as part of Himmler's clandestine Lebensborn project. Haya reflects on her Catholicized Jewish family's experiences, dealing unsparingly with the massacre of Italian Jews in the concentration camps of Trieste. Her obsessive search for her son leads her to photographs, maps, and fragments of verse, to testimonies from the Nuremberg trials and interviews with second-generation Jews, and to eyewitness accounts of atrocities that took place on her doorstep. From this broad collage of material and memory arises the staggering chronicle of Nazi occupation in northern Italy. Written in immensely powerful language and employing a range of astonishing conceptual devices, Trieste is a novel like no other. Daša Drndić has produced a shattering contribution to the literature of twentieth-century history"--

Sono gli ultimi giorni della seconda guerra mondiale e la città di Trieste si trova a vivere un dramma inedito, precursore delle tensioni della Guerra fredda. Per quaranta giorni - dal primo maggio al 12 giugno - le truppe titine occupano la città, portando nuovi spargimenti di sangue e nuove morti.
Un extranjero llega a Trieste atraído por el peso de sus recuerdos, por la fuerza de su pasado. Sólo aspira a revivir una vieja historia de amor, pero su evocación es tan fuerte como para que de ese pasado surjan también otras vidas, cuyo nexo común con la suya quizá sea la figura de una mujer. O qu
