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.

Wer "Das Haus / House of leaves" gelesen hat wird hier definitiv etwas finden das eine ähnliche Nische bedient, auch wenn das Buch bedeutet kürzer ist. Das Buch punktet auf jeden Fall mit einer ungewöhnlichen Prämisse, schafft es aber durchweg spannend und interessant zu bleiben.

Ich habe mich unglaublich in dem Buch wiedererkannt, in den Ansichten des Hauptcharakters, ich liebe seinen Blick auf die Welt, seine Faszination, die vielen Menschen heutzutage glaube ich unbekannt ist. Der Plot am Ende war etwas vorhersehbar, das hat mich aber überhaupt nicht gestört. Ich habe die Beschreibungen geliebt, wie Piranesi das Haus entdeckt hat, das worldbuilding… ein Meisterwerk, auch literarisch. Das Beste, das ich seit Langem gelesen habe. Und ich werde es noch viele Male erneut lesen, wenn mir unsere Welt zu viel wird.
