Faerie is never as far away as you think. Sometimes you find you have crossed an invisible line and must cope, as best you can, with petulant princesses, vengeful owls, ladies who pass their time embroidering terrible fates or with endless paths in deep, dark woods and houses that never appear the same way twice. The heroines and heroes bedevilled by such problems in these fairy tales include a conceited Regency clergyman, an eighteenth-century Jewish doctor and Mary, Queen of Scots, as well as two characters from \"Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell: Strange himself and the Raven King\".

Susanna Clarke, autrice fantasy fra le più acclamate, torna in maniera trionfale con un nuovo, inebriante romanzo ambientato in un mondo da sogno intriso di bellezza e poesia.«\"Piranesi\" mi ha sbalordita. È un esempio di storytelling miracoloso e luminoso» – Madeline Miller«Un avvincente, suggestivo mistero. Questo libro è un tesoro trasportato dal mare su una costa dimenticata, che attende solo di essere scoperto» – Erin Morgenstern«Che mondo ha creato Susanna Clarke... \"Piranesi\" è un puzzle squisito» – David Mitchell«Ci riporta decisamente a \"Sogno di una notte di mezza estate\", per non parlare de \"La tempesta\". Susanna è una di quegli scrittori che usano gli strumenti della fantasia per parlarci di noi stessi» – Neil Gaiman«La pubblicazione di \"Piranesi\" conferma che Susanna Clarke è fra i più grandi e interessanti scrittori di fantasy degli ultimi cent'anni o più» – Times Literary SupplementPiranesi vive nella Casa. Forse da sempre. Giorno dopo giorno ne esplora gli infiniti saloni, mentre nei suoi diari tiene traccia di tutte le meraviglie e i misteri che questo mondo labirintico custodisce. I corridoi abbandonati conducono in un vestibolo dopo l'altro, dove sono esposte migliaia di bellissime statue di marmo. Imponenti scalinate in rovina portano invece ai piani dove è troppo rischioso addentrarsi: fitte coltri di nubi nascondono allo sguardo il livello superiore, mentre delle maree imprevedibili che risalgono da chissà quali abissi sommergono i saloni inferiori. Ogni martedì e venerdì Piranesi si incontra con l'Altro per raccontargli le sue ultime scoperte. Quest'uomo enigmatico è l'unica persona con cui parla, perché i pochi che sono stati nella Casa prima di lui sono ora soltanto scheletri che si confondono tra il marmo. Improvvisamente appaiono dei messaggi misteriosi: qualcuno è arrivato nella Casa e sta cercando di mettersi in contatto proprio con Piranesi. Di chi si tratta? Lo studioso spera in un nuovo amico, mentre per l'Altro è solo una terribile minaccia. Piranesi legge e rilegge i suoi diari ma i ricordi non combaciano, il tempo sembra scorrere per conto proprio e l'Altro gli confonde solo le idee con le sue risposte sfuggenti. Piranesi adora la Casa, è la sua divinità protettrice e l'unica realtà di cui ha memoria. È disposto a tutto per proteggerla, ma il mondo che credeva di conoscere nasconde ancora troppi segreti e sta diventando, suo malgrado, pericoloso.

God has abandoned the world.\n\nPerfect for fans of Susanna Clarke and Andrew Taylor!\n\nA country in flames.\n\n1791. The age of belief and superstition is passing. A new light dawns. In Paris, revolution threatens to set the world ablaze.\n\nBut whose hand stokes the fire?\n\nAcross the sea in England, Thomas Peach lives in quiet retirement.

Enter a sumptuous world of art and magic in 17th-century Florence as Artemisia Gentileschi is determined to make her mark as a painter, and exact her revenge - perfect for fans of Alix E. Harrow, Elena Ferrante and Susanna Clarke.\n\nWhen Artemisia Gentileschi arrives in Florence seeking a haven for her art, she faces instant opposition from the powerful Accademia, self-proclaimed gatekeepers of Florence's magical art world. As artists create their masterpieces, they add layer upon layer of magics drawn from their own life essence, giving each work the power to heal - or to curse. The all-male Accademia jealously guards its power and has no place for an ambitious young woman arriving from Rome under a cloud of scandal. \n\nHaunted by the shadow of her harrowing past and fighting for every commission, Artemisia begins winning allies among luminaries such as Galileo Galilei, the influential Cristina de' Medici and the charming, wealthy Francesco Maria Maringhi. But not everyone in Florence wants to see Artemisia succeed, and when an incendiary preacher turns his ire from Galileo to the art world, Artemisia must choose between revenge and her dream of creating a legacy that will span the generations.
