In an East Prussian manor house, a Bohemian library, a Bulgarian railway station; in a Venetian citadel, a Breton harbour, a city in the Caucasus, characters encounter not only the vicissitudes of history but also the subtle influences of the uncanny.As they face war, revolution and upheaval, or the quieter encroachments of decay, these haunted figures must find their way both in a changed world and in mysterious overlapping otherworlds. Inner Europe collects thirteen stories, eleven of them newly written for this book. This shared volume follows the two authors' well-received Secret Europe and takes the reader once again on strange journeys to forgotten or little-known places and peculiar historical byways.
