Alessandro Baricco is a star of Italian prose, one of the most brilliant novelists of our time, whose works have been translated into dozens of languages. Critics rightly call Baricco a "literary cubist": the writer depicts multiple facets of reality, yet the complex architecture of his texts is combined with a captivating musicality of style.
This collection returns to the author's first decade of work. Following the hero of the international bestseller "Silk," we sail to 19th-century Japan, where a chance encounter turns into obsessive love. On the other side of the world and in another century, the ocean liner from the monologue "1900. The Legend of the Pianist" cuts through the waves—a brilliant musician, who has never set foot on land, plays on deck. And on the shore, lost in time and space, nestles the Almayer tavern from the novel "The Sea-Ocean," a haven for eccentric guests, each obsessed in their own way... The publication is supplemented by the author's debut "Castles of Wrath," the avant-garde collage "City," and the gritty cinematic drama "Bloodless."
The stories in this collection have inspired famous films: "Silk" (starring Keira Knightley), "The Legend of the Pianist" (starring Tim Roth), and "Bloodless" (directed by Angelina Jolie and starring Salma Hayek).
