Like a huge scar on its heart, the Danube, the longest river in the European Union, is the witness to the changes in the History and Geography of Mitteleuropa (Central Europe).

The Madrid-based photographer Francisco González San Agustín has captured with his lens not only the beautiful and evocative landscapes and scenes that surround it from its birth in the Black Forest to its mouth in the Black Sea, but also those latent wounds that, far from closing, fester from time to time in the form of wars, tensions of all kinds or migrations.

Thirty years after the publication of Claudio Magris 's The Danube –an inevitable reference–, González San Agustín immerses us with his photographs and texts that make up this project, in the thinking of authors such as Celan, Canetti, Lukács, Heidegger, Kepler, Einstein, among others, who have forged a rich Danubian culture.

This catalogue includes the sixty images from this exhibition, Danube , displayed at the CBA, as well as a prologue by Jorge Herralde , editor, writer, and director and founder of the Anagrama publishing house.
