Publisher : A filthy and exhausted soldier emerges from the Mediterranean wilderness–he is escaping from an unspecified war, trying to flee incessant violence and find refuge in solitude. Meanwhile, on September 11, 2001, aboard a small cruise ship, a scientific conference takes place to pay tribute to renowned East German mathematician Paul Heudeber, a committed communist and anti-fascist, and a survivor of the camps at tension grows between these two narrative threads, and–pulled together in Mathias Énard’s enchanting, brilliant, erudite prose–time itself seems to become tightly interwoven, drawn together by the immense stakes of love and politics, loyalty and belief, hope and survival.
