French writer and philosopher Muriel Barbéry became a star after the publication of her second novel, The Elegance of the Hedgehog (2006), which sold more than two million copies in France alone, earned the author over a dozen prestigious literary awards, was translated into more than forty languages, and since then, every book Barberi only confirms her status as the queen of the bestseller. Her new novel, The Hour of Revelation, and her previous one, Only a Rose, form a three-dimensional picture, an open-ended story, whose characters live their unconditionally interconnected lives without meeting in time or space. In Only a Rose, a forty-year-old woman came to Japan to find roots she had lost since birth and to understand her late father, whom she did not know, who remained behind the scenes throughout the novel; only Rosa was in the frame. In The Hour of Revelation, she remains behind the scenes, and in the frame is the main character, Rosa's father, Haru Ueno, a collector and dealer of modern Japanese art, who, in his youth, endowed with an irresistible love of beauty with an unmistakably accurate look at beauty and drove away from the hinterland to Kyoto . The Hour of Revelation is a poetic, heartfelt and profound story of Haru, his friends (artists by profession or at heart), his love for his daughter - love at a distance, delicate and persistent - and his gradual inevitable self-discovery. In the scenery of Japan, where the author lived for several years, an incomprehensible and infinitely attractive country, a quiet and poignant drama unfolds: beauty is hidden in the smallest details, melancholy is inseparable from the joy of life, and death and birth are one and the same.
