A literary meeting, in collaboration with the Arcadia Library in Rovereto, with the great Dutch writer and traveler Jan Brokken, alongside the greatest authors of travel fiction ever, such as Bruce Chatwin and Nicholas Bouvier.
The great Dutch writer and traveler, alongside the greatest authors of all time in travel fiction such as Bruce Chatwin and Nicholas Bouvier, is known for his ability to tell the lives of characters out of the ordinary and above all the places and stories they contain.
We asked him to tell us about Europe through the soul of the cities he loved most in the old continent, with particular reference to thateast so rich in culture, but also so battered in History. We owe to Brokken the rediscovery, also from a tourist point of view, of those Baltic countries, so deeply European and yet so present, the castles of the Courland of the Teutonic Knights, the Königsberg of Kant, a Russian enclave in European territory today known as Kaliningrad. And the stories of protagonists of the arts that we hardly know to be Baltic and that we give for Russians or Germans or Americans.
