Bestseller del New York Times
Ganador del Women’s Prize for Fiction Finalista de World Fantasy Awards

Vuelve la autora de Jonathan Strange y el senor Norrell con una novela hipnotica ambientada en una realidad onirica.

La casa de Piranesi no es un edificio cualquiera: sus habitaciones son monumentales, con paredes llenas de miles de estatuas, y sus pasillos, interminables. Dentro del dedalo de corredores hay un oceano aprisionado en el que las olas retumban y las mareas inundan los aposentos. Pero Piranesi no tiene miedo: comprende las embestidas del mar igual que el patron del laberinto, mientras explora los limites de su mundo y avanza, con la ayuda de un hombre llamado El Otro, en una investigacion cientifica para alcanzar El Gran Conocimiento Secreto.

The spectacular new novel from the bestselling author of Jonathan Strange
& Mr Norrell, ‘one of our greatest living authors.’ (New York
Magazine)

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 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.
