About This Novel
"Land is too big a ship for me." An immortal masterpiece that spans the history of film and literature. This book contains the complete original work of the movie "The Pianist" and "Silk", which was praised as a "literary treasure" by The Times. Newly translated by the famous translator Chen Ying. "The Pianist at Sea" is the original film of the same name directed by Giuseppe Tornatore. It tells the legendary life of the "1900" pianist at sea who never set foot on land. In 1900, on the luxury cruise ship "Virginia", an orphan was abandoned in the first class cabin. He was seen by the sailors on the ship, raised him and named him 1900. As 1900 grew up, he showed his talent for playing the piano without a teacher. He played music that no one had ever heard in the band on the ship. Everyone who heard him play was deeply moved. "Silk" tells the story of a natural disaster that almost destroyed France's silk industry in the mid-19th century. Retired soldier Hervé Jungour left his beloved wife and went to Japan to buy silkworm seeds under the entrustment of French silk merchant Bardabiu. Barico narrates the subtle eroticism of this journey in a restrained, mythical, elegant and moving way.
