''Trieste'' is more than just a novel, it's a document that should be compulsory reading in secondary schools. As the author puts it: ''History, an ornate lady who does not die easily, dresses again and again in new costumes but keeps telling the same story.'' Books like this are necessary whilst there's still a glimmer of hope that eloquently reminding us of the past may prevent its repetition.
If you'd like to read about another lesser-known area of World War II, try [[Defiance by Nechama Tec]] about a Jewish partisan unit. If the subject interests you, we can recommend [[To Save a People by Alex Kershaw]] or [[The Homecoming Party by Carmine Abate]].
