«Carus» is the novel by Pascal Quignard published by Gallimard in paperback, with 371 pages and text in French.
The novel follows a musician in Paris, plunged into such deep sadness that he has stopped speaking. His friends —a collector, a grammarian, an antiquarian and a professor of philology— try to revive him with banquets, chamber music and conversations; amid disputes and reconciliations they weave a friendship that conjures away the grief.
This French edition, published in 1990, belongs to the Folio collection and includes the complete text; the work won the Prix des Critiques in 1980.
For readers of literary fiction in French who appreciate stories of friendship and melancholy.
