Un beau jour, la Jeune Épouse fait son apparition devant la Famille. Elle a dix-huit ans et débarque d'Argentine car elle doit épouser le Fils. En attendant qu'il rentre d'Angleterre, elle est accueillie par la Famille. La Jeune Épouse vit alors une authentique initiation sexuelle : la Fille la séduit et fait son éducation, dûment complétée par la Mère, et le Père la conduit dans un bordel de luxe où elle écoutera un récit édifiant, qui lui dévoilera les mystères de cette famille aux rituels aussi sophistiqués qu'incompréhensibles. Mais le Fils ne revient toujours pas, il se contente d'expédier toutes sortes d'objets étranges, qui semblent d'abord annoncer son retour puis signifient au contraire sa disparition. Quand la Famille part en villégiature d'été, la Jeune Épouse décide de l'attendre seule, une attente qui sera pleine de surprises. Avec délicatesse et virtuosité, l'auteur de Soie et de Novecento pianiste ne se contente pas de recréer un monde envoûtant, au bord de la chute, qui n'est pas sans rappeler celui que Tomasi di Lampedusa dépeint dans Le guépard. Il nous livre aussi, l'air de rien, une formidable réflexion sur le métier d'écrire.      Book Description      Né en 1958, Alessandro Baricco est l'auteur de romans et d'essais traduits dans le monde entier. Une certaine vision du monde, son dernier ouvrage en date, a paru aux Éditions Gallimard en 2015.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/alessandro-baricco-books\"\u003eAlessandro Baricco\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fiction, Genre Fiction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e French and European Publications Inc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9782070178919\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"French and European Publications Inc","offers":[{"title":"Very Good — £1.60","offer_id":47919337734321,"sku":"SB-2070178919-C2","price":1.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/2070178919.jpg?v=1789693980"},{"product_id":"the-game-3","title":"The game","description":"\u003cp\u003eQuella che stiamo vivendo non è solo una rivoluzione tecnologica fatta di nuovi oggetti, ma il risultato di un'insurrezione mentale. Chi l'ha innescata - dai pionieri di Internet all'inventore dell'iPhone - non aveva in mente un progetto preciso se non questo, affascinante e selvaggio: rendere impossibile la ripetizione di una tragedia come quella del Novecento. Niente più confini, niente più élite, niente più caste sacerdotali, politiche, intellettuali. Uno dei concetti più cari all'uomo analogico, la verità, diventa improvvisamente sfocato, mobile, instabile. I problemi sono tradotti in partite da vincere in un gioco per adulti-bambini.
