The spectacular new novel from the bestselling author of JONATHAN STRANGE & MR NORRELL, ‘one of our greatest living authors’ New York Magazine

Piranesi lives in the House. Perhaps he always has.

In his notebooks, day after day, he makes a clear and careful record of its wonders: the labyrinth of halls, the thousands upon thousands of statues, the tides that thunder up staircases, the clouds that move in slow procession through the upper halls. On Tuesdays and Fridays Piranesi sees his friend, the Other. At other times he brings tributes of food to the Dead. But mostly, he is alone.

Messages begin to appear, scratched out in chalk on the pavements. There is someone new in the House. But who are they and what do they want? Are they a friend or do they bring destruction and madness as the Other claims?

Lost texts must be found; secrets must be uncovered. The world that Piranesi thought he knew is becoming strange and dangerous.

The Beauty of the House is immeasurable; its Kindness infinite.

Opinie krytyków

Reminds us of fiction’s power to take us to another world and expand our understanding of this one
It has a daring and a grace that are quietly, transportingly spectacular. If you were looking for a book that distils the concept of wonder, this is the one: it feels like a work of pure generosity (KATHERINE RUNDELL)
It’s always great to have some fiction to heartily recommend, and while there’s been stiff competition this year, Piranesi by Susanna Clarke has won out in the end. A masterful work of weird fiction, it’s a novel that grips, perplexes and moves you, usually all at once!
The fiction, nonfiction and poetry that deepened our understanding, ignited our curiosity and helped us escape … For fantasy readers often eager to get lost in mystical worlds and escape the complications of real life, Piranesi’s predicament deeply resonates
The long-anticipated second novel from the author of 2004’s best-seller Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell is a philosophical fantasy. Piranesi (the name is one of several allusions to the 18th century) spends his days interpreting coded messages left around a labyrinthine villa filled with seabirds and symbolic statues
Susanna Clarke’s new novel is a beguiling study of isolation and exile ... To say more would be to ruin one of the year’s more unusual reading experiences
This tale of weird enchanted halls is close to perfect
A warm book about losing and finding oneself; about what humanity could have lost in the process of becoming rational
Purely joyful reading … a delight - as if Borges wrote a novel with a beginning, middle and satisfying end (Naomi Alderman)
My absolute favourite book of the year by miles ... it took root in me (Jenny Colgan)
Like Hilary Mantel, Clarke made the very notion of genre seem quaint ... Piranesi is a tenebrous study in solitude … A remarkable feat, not just of craft but of reinvention
Susanna Clarke's first novel since 2004's Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell was more than worth the sixteen-year wait. Full of the magic and mayhem you might expect, Piranesi introduces a labyrinth to savour
Susanna Clarke's long-awaited Piranesi is utterly compelling – bewildering, intense, moving, shocking, combining a haunting fantasy with sharp insights about a culture of domination, hierarchy and rivalry and about how the imagination can survive in such a world (Rowan Williams)
Like a thriller … Compelling … A fever dream - disorientating, engrossing, persistently strange … It burrows into the subconscious, throwing out puzzles long after the final page … Brilliantly singular
Exhilarating and hallucinatory, a mystery told backwards and inside-out. How she does it I've no idea; it's as though most minds are cameras, but Clarke's is a kaleidoscope (Melissa Harrison)
Brilliantly peculiar … It subverts expectations throughout … Utterly otherworldly

A short and sweet mystery without any unnecessary or cliché twists. Special mention to the narrator, whose calm and friendly voice lends so much depth to the protagonist. Recommended to anyone looking for a relaxing and intriguing tale.

Brilliant story, brilliantly narrated

An absolutely outstanding (to me almost perfect) narration - by Chiwetel Ejiofor. Written like a psychedelic fever dream turned up to 11 - still disturbingly calming and unsettling at the same time. Definitely not for everyone but if you like this type of vibe and energy, you will most certainly love this one, I would guess. Fantastic content overall.

Uniquely and dazzlingly captivating, what a wild story

The story is quite unexpected. Like a puzzle , you have whole picture on the end .
The speaker is brillant. Perfect for the book.

Unexpected

I found myself confused when first listening and it gradually becomes clearer. The listener is always one step ahead of Piranesi who lives alone in a magical house- he is innocent, grateful and accepting of everything that happens without every questioning who he is and why he’s there, and his relationship with the only other human there: The Other. Initially I felt clueless and sometimes irritated by the listing of dates and rooms and statues but there was also a calming aspect to the story which picks up pace about halfway. Overall, an enjoyable listen and one that will make you think.

Magical mystical and strangely calming
