«Novecento: pianiste» is the theatrical monologue by Alessandro Baricco, published by Gallimard in paperback (87 pages, in French).
Novecento is a pianist born on an ocean liner who never sets foot on dry land; he spends his life at sea, playing a piano and creating strange, beautiful music that seems to belong to the ocean. The text, in the form of a poetic monologue, combines the tone of a fable with suggestive metaphors.
Work originally published as «Novecento. Un monologo» in 1994; this French edition belongs to the Folio collection and was translated by Françoise Brun.
A brief, poetic read, intended for those who enjoy contemporary fables about music and the sea.
Alessandro Baricco is an Italian writer, director and performer. His novels have been translated into a number of languages.
