Each new book by Patrick Modiano becomes an event in literature. Modiano remains one of the best prose writers in France. His deceptively similar novels are a world unto themselves. In small volumes, using watercolor expressive means, the author manages to immerse the reader in the difficult history of the 20th century. Memory is the guiding thread of all Modiano's books. “Memories like floating clouds” continually transport the hero of “Horizon” from today’s Paris to the Paris of the 60s, where two young people met, restless children of war, the aspiring writer Jean and the mysterious girl Margaret, who suddenly disappears from the hero’s life, so and without revealing his secret.

“He looked at the miniature plan of Paris on the last pages of his black notebook. He always believed that in the heart of some neighborhoods one could still find people he met in his youth... Somewhere in the hidden places, the bends of space, they exist the same as they were before. To get to them, you need to know secret passages, courtyards, guess where the unmapped streets are located, which at first glance seem to be dead ends...” Patrick Modiano
