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 and waterlilies 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.

Rezension von SvenDer Twist am Ende regt zum Nachdenken an. Erinnert mich, was das angeht, etwas an Shutter Island. Sonst sehr whimsical geschrieben, entspannt und schön aber hat mich nicht so gecatched, wie ich es aus Erzählungen erwartet habe
Rezension von LeaDas Buch hat meine Leidenschaft für das Journaling wiedererweckt. Es war so fesselnd geschrieben, dass man meinen könnte, man schaut eine Serie. Eine definitive Weiterempfehlung.
Rezension von Larisa<b> "The Beauty of the House is immeasurable; its Kindness infinite." </b> This book is confusing, yet it also makes you think and wonder. I almost want to read it again, just to dive into all the symbolism. But one thing is certain: Piranesi showed me that we don't see the magic and beauty in our own world anymore and I think that's sad.
