So delighted to see this beautiful edition from @seagullbooks! Char's Hypnos was very important for Hannah Arendt. She quotes from it at the end of On Revolution, the beginning of Between Past and Future, and in The Life of the Mind. https://t.co/RNks6n1Vll

I read a lot of wonderful books in 2021, but if I had to recommend just one, it would be Trieste And The Meaning Of Nowhere by Jan Morris. I read it in Trieste last August and it has stayed with me and changed the way I think about what it means to be at home in the world.
