Piranesi's house is no ordinary building: its rooms are infinite, its corridors endless, its walls are lined with thousands upon thousands of statues, each one different from all the others. Within the labyrinth of halls an ocean is imprisoned; waves thunder up staircases, rooms are flooded in an instant. But Piranesi is not afraid; he understands the tides as he understands the pattern of the labyrinth itself. He lives to explore the house. There is one other person in the house-a man called The Other, who visits Piranesi twice a week and asks for help with research into A Great and Secret Knowledge. But as Piranesi explores, evidence emerges of another person, and a terrible truth begins to unravel, revealing a world beyond the one Piranesi has always known. For readers of Neil Gaiman's The Ocean at the End of the Lane and fans of Madeline Miller's Circe, Piranesi introduces an astonishing new world, an infinite labyrinth, full of startling images and surreal beauty, haunted by the tides and the clouds.… (plus d'informations)

  3. 70
    House of Leaves par Mark Z. Danielewski (hubies)
    hubies: Piranesi is not scary, but in both books there is this mystifying, unpeopled world of impossible (and perhaps infinite) house-like space. Also: cryptic diary entries, unstable mind, short film as a plot device.

Un libro que es mejor empezar sin saber nada y descubrir el mundo de Piranesi a medida que te lo va enseñando el mismo con las entradas de su diario.

Una maravilla de libro que explora muchos conceptos que me gustan pero que prefiero no detallar para mantener la sorpresa de su lectura.

Recomendadisimo. ( )

One of my favorite books I read in 2023. I went into this book blindly; I'm glad that I did. There are a few aspects that I didn't like about the book. Mainly the ending. I thought it was strange to follow Piranesi in the world only for him to be saved by a cop in the end. This entire book felt like it was set in an alternative universe, so when I got to this part of the book I felt that I was taken out of the universe and the story that was being wrote didn't feel the same as when I started to book. Another thing I didn't like was the wordy explantations of the hallways. Once or twice would be fine, but I felt there was pages dedicated to describing nothing.

The thing that I loved about this book was the world that Piranesi lived in. I felt that I was also in this labyrinth. I also liked that a lot of the book is a mystery to us and Piranesi. Is the guy helping him good or bad? Is this his imagination or is the world real? Who are the bodies that he finds, and why are they there? Why is he the only one in this universe?

Overall, an enjoyable read and I will be recommending to my friends. ( )

A small, beautiful, melancholic fantasy that shows us what the better angels of our nature could look like. The setting of the House could be a place of nightmares, but the pure heart of Piranesi renders it full of grace, beauty, and kindness. This story made me yearn for the magical thinking of childhood; I remembered the place that was where I “last believed the world to be fluid,” “before the iron hand of modern rationality gripped [my] mind.” What a gift for a story to give.

Small but perfectly formed fantasy. Brought back to me the childhood feeling of reading stories where another world is hidden just out of sight.

This was an amazing book. I will re-read it soon. ( )

Here it is worth reflecting on the subject of Clarke's overt homage. The historical Piranesi, an 18th-century engraver, is celebrated for his intricate and oppressive visions of imaginary prisons and his veduta ideate, precise renderings of classical edifices set amid fantastic vistas. Goethe, it is said, was so taken with these that he found the real Rome greatly disappointing. Clarke fuses these themes, seducing us with imaginative grandeur only to sweep that vision away, revealing the monstrosities to which we can not only succumb but wholly surrender ourselves.

The result is a remarkable feat, not just of craft but of reinvention. Far from seeming burdened by her legacy, the Clarke we encounter here might be an unusually gifted newcomer unacquainted with her namesake's work. If there is a strand of continuity in this elegant and singular novel, it is in its central pre-occupation with the nature of fantasy itself. It remains a potent force, but one that can leave us - like Goethe among the ruins - forever disappointed by what is real.
 
How fantastic to have a bestselling novel with an index right at its heart.

"I am the great scholar, the magician, the adept, who is doing the experiment. Of course I need subjects to do it on".

The Magician's Nephew, C. S. Lewis
"People call me a philosopher or a scientist or an anthropologist. I am none of those things. I am an anamnesiologist. I study what has been forgotten. I divine what has disappeared utterly. I work with absences, with silences, with curious gaps between things. I am more of a magician than anything else."

Laurence Arne-Sayles, interview in The Secret Garden, May 1976
