Francesca Duranti Pořadí knih (chronologicky)

To further his career as a translator, Fabrizio Mila creates a translation of a novel by an imaginary Viennese author. Reprint.

Un romanzo che l'autrice costruisce come un puzzle di specchi, dalla cui somma emerge non tanto il profilo di una identità, piuttosto il complesso disegno di un'esistenza. Al capezzale della madre morta, Stefania ritrova tracce del proprio passato. Nel romanzo si rincorrono storie di ieri e storie di oggi, un passato povero in un paese ricco di tradizioni e memorie e un presente che può diventare opulento ma a costo di un azzeramento memoriale.

A prize-winning international bestseller, this gripping story by Francesca Duranti follows Fabrizio, an impoverished but aristocratic translator, on his obsessive quest to find a lost German novel -- The House on Moon Lake -- after he reads a reference to it in the book of a renowned literary critic. Fabrizio's quest and its solution transform his life as he searches for the reality behind the events in the book and its author. As Fabrizio is drawn into making up a story which slowly -- and intolerably -- becomes fact, he watches as his own creation begins to overpower him. By the time Fabrizio realizes the ramifications of the myth he has crafted, the love story of the original dissolves into a horror story of the present.

Ako filologickú detektívku zvyknú označovať populárny román talianskej spisovateľky. Rozpráva príbeh literárneho nádenníka Fabrizia, ktorý objaví román obskúrneho rakúskeho spisovateľa Fritza Oberhofera Das Haus am Mondsee a začína sa v ňom strácať.
