Synopsis "Piranesi (in German)"

Der neue Roman der Bestsellerautorin von »Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell«

Ein riesiges Gebäude, in dem sich endlos Räume aneinanderreihen, verbunden durch ein Labyrinth aus Korridoren und Treppen. An den Wänden stehen Tausende Statuen, das Erdgeschoss besteht aus einem Ozean, bei Flut donnern die Wellen die Treppenhäuser hinauf. In diesem Gebäude lebt Piranesi. Er hat sein Leben der Erforschung des Hauses gewidmet. Und je weiter er sich in die Zimmerfluchten vorwagt, desto näher kommt er der Wahrheit – der Wahrheit über die Welt jenseits des Gebäudes. Und der Wahrheit über sich selbst.

Susanna Clarke (Nottingham, 1959) is a British writer known for her distinctive approach to historical fantasy. Her literary debut, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (2004), blends magic and realism in an alternative 19th century England. The novel was an international success, selling over four million copies and earning awards such as the Hugo and the World Fantasy Award. In 2006, she published The Ladies of Grace Adieu, a collection of stories set in the same magical universe.

After a period of inactivity due to chronic fatigue syndrome, Clarke returned in 2020 with Piranesi, a novel that explores solitude and identity in a labyrinthine world. The work was critically acclaimed and won the Women's Prize for Fiction in 2021. Clarke continues to be an influential figure in contemporary fantasy literature, noted for her evocative style and her ability to merge the magical with the historical.
