Its writers were clerks, traders, teachers and diplomats who arrived here from abroad or were born into one of the town’s several communities. They gave life to a unique multicultural and plurilingual literature.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”2″ top_padding=”2″ bottom_padding=”2″ overlay_alpha=”100″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ row_height_use_pixel=””][vc_column column_width_percent=”80″ align_horizontal=”align_center” overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”2″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ zoom_width=”0″ zoom_height=”0″][vc_separator sep_color=”accent”][vc_custom_heading text_height=”” text_color=”color-jevc”]“Hohò Trieste

Modern-day Trieste is the birthplace or homeland of choice for authors who have written and been translated into several languages: Boris Pahor, Claudio Magris, Veit Heinichen, Giorgio Pressburger (recently deceased), Mauro Covacich, Susanna Tamaro, Juan Octavio Prenz, Laila Wadia. Based solely on their names, would you be able to tell which language they write in?[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
