Sixteen years ago, Suzanne Clarke released Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, a book that has sold over 4 million copies worldwide and is recognized as a legendary masterpiece: “This is what The Master and Margarita might have looked like if Dickens had written it.” (A. Genis); “The best literary fairy tale in English over the last seventy years” (N. Gaiman). And finally we have waited for Clarke's second novel. "This is an event of the first importance in the world of literature" (Daily Telegraph). For the man we know as Piranesi, Home with a capital “H” is the whole World. “Since the beginning of the World, fifteen people have definitely existed in it,” and Piranesi is the fifteenth. He explores the endless Halls, decorated with majestic Statues, and charts the Tides that sweep the lower floors. Clouds float to the upper floors and birds fly in, and on Tuesdays and Fridays Piranesi meets the Other. “The beauty of the House is indescribable,” writes Piranesi in his diary. “His kindness is limitless.” But one day he discovers traces of man number sixteen... “The Piranesi is an exquisite box of surprises, and the inside is much, much bigger than the outside,” writes David Mitchell. “A fantastic, unique and absolutely necessary read,” echoes The Bookseller magazine.
