The Sea is a moving novel by John Banville, winner of the prestigious Man Booker Prize in 2005. The story follows Max Morden, who, after the death of his wife, retires to the Irish coast, to the same town where he spent his childhood summers. Seeking refuge from the painful present, Max immerses himself in a past marked by tragedy. The house where he stays, the Cedars mansion, evokes memories of the Graces, a family that dazzled him fifty years ago. Through meticulous and polished prose, Banville reflects on time, death, memory and memories, creating a record of sensations and perceptions full of details.
William John Banville is an Irish novelist, adapter of dramas, and screenwriter. A former member of Aosdána, he voluntarily relinquished the financial stipend in 2001 to another, more impoverished, writer.
