Trieste and the Meaning of Nowhere by Jan MorrisRead about another book on the list.
In her best book – according to author herself – Morris explores the port town's role in centuries of trade and movement across the Mediterranean and the Balkans. Having first visited at the tail-end of the second world war as a British cavalry officer, Morris developed a close relationship with the Adriatic, with a further three books on Venice – both as a city and as a naval empire.
