Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt is a philosopher and researcher of the human soul, writer and film director, one of the most successful European playwrights, a man who, in his books “The Gospel of Pilate”, “The Sect of Egoists”, “Oscar and the Pink Lady”, “ Ibrahim and the Flowers of the Koran”, “The Woman in the Mirror” asked questions to God and Pontius Pilate, Buddha and Mohammed, Freud and Mozart. In his new novel “Parrots from Arezzo Square” he asks himself a question: what is love? “If there are as many heads, so many minds, then as many hearts, so many kinds of love,” Anna Karenina once said thoughtfully. Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt unfolds before the amazed and intrigued reader an entire love series just about “how many kinds of love,” bringing each microplot to its climax. Be that as it may, it is impossible to stop reading.

Dramatic comedy or philosophical fairy tale? Both. There are many colors of characters, and each has their own difficult but fascinating story. Blaise de Chaballier. Figaro

Schmitt the prose writer in his new novel “The Parrots of Piazza Arezzo” demonstrates fantastic skill, tolerance and emancipation. This is a true hymn to freedom and pleasure. Jean-Rémi Barland. La Provence
