Sixteen years ago, Susanna Clarke released Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, a book that sold over 4 million copies worldwide and has been hailed as a legendary masterpiece: "This is what the novel The Master and Margarita might have looked like if Dickens had written it" (A. Genis); "The best literary fairy tale in English in the last seventy years" (N. Gaiman). And now at last we have waited for Clarke's second novel. "It is an event of paramount importance in the world of literature" (Daily Telegraph). For the man we know as Piranesi, the House with a capital letter is the whole World. "Since the beginning of the World, fifteen men have definitely existed in it," and Piranesi is the fifteenth. He explores the endless Halls adorned with majestic Statues and schedules the Tides slamming into the lower floors. Clouds float in and birds fly in on the upper floors, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays Piranesi meets the Other. "The beauty of the House is unspeakable," Piranesi writes in his diary. - Its kindness is boundless." But one day he discovers traces of a man numbered sixteen...

And then he discovers the footprints of a man numbered sixteen.
