domination, Trieste sought the protection of Duke Leopold
of Austria. Triestewas of great importance to the Hapsburg
Empire as a seaport and Freeport was created in 1719.

on "The Dubliners", "Portrait of an artist as a value
Young Man "and start" Ulysses "in Trieste. The rich mix of
Central EuropeanEastern Mediterranean culture in
Trieste is said to have had a great influence on his writing.
Joyce was English tutor in Italy Svevo, Italian author.
Svevo was born in Trieste in 1861, his mother was part of a
Stian Trie Jewish family, and his father was German
origin. Joyce encouraged and praised Svevo's work and
Svevo wrote critiques of Joyce's work.
Svevo's book, "Confessions of Zeno", was virtually
ignored in Italy. However, Joycerecommended book
publishers in France, where he was hailed as a masterpiece.
The book is an autobiography of Zeno, written for Zeno
psychoanalyst, to help reach the bottom of her smoking
dependence.
Svevo is credited by Welleck as "an Italian novelist with
permanent appeal as a psychologist and psychoanalytic
portrait of the inhabitants of Austrian and later Italian
Trieste and their often uncertain national bond. "
Jan Morriswrote the book, "Trieste and the meaning of
Nowhere. "Morris says this is his last book, a self-
