Complex and very rich, at times painful, crossed by different peoples and languages: through newspapers, the News-stand of History recounts the story of Trieste, and the background of much of its literature.
This tells us about the authors who were born, lived and were active in Trieste from the end of the 19th century up to the present day. It illustrates the genres and languages of literature with displays original objects and documents, photographs, films; offering books, audiobooks, sound recordings and reading recommendations.
The images of the films taken from the words of the authors of Trieste take us inside the stories, inside the books that make up Literature in Trieste, together with their protagonists.

Italo Svevo: the writer who always doubles up – his names, identities, religions, professions, and lives – ironically multiplying the points of view from which to better recount his story. The novelist of Trieste.
When he arrived in Trieste in 1904, James Joyce was a young aspiring writer without a penny to his name. By the time he moved to Paris, he was one of the most prominent intellectuals of the 1920s. If Dublin is the absolute protagonist of Ulysses, Trieste is its incubator and cradle.
