In the lordship of Orsenna, a sleeping city corroded by inertia, the young patrician Aldo is sent to the banks of the Sirtes to watch over the stationed troops. Beyond the sea lie the coasts of an unknown country with which the lordship maintains a three-century war. Aldo's arrival revitalizes the situation, upsetting the balance of power on which peace is based. An implacable, majestic, and transparent prose that immerses the reader in a unique atmosphere.
Julien Gracq was a French writer. He wrote novels, critiques, a play, and poetry. His literary works were noted for their dreamlike abstraction, elegant style and refined vocabulary. He was close to the surrealist movement, in particular its leader André Breton.
