«Océan mer» is the novel by Alessandro Baricco published by Gallimard in paperback from the Folio collection (282 pages, in French).
At the Almayer boarding house, by the ocean, seven characters marked by fate come together and try to piece their lives back together. Their stay is disturbed by the memory of a shipwreck from the last century and the bloody drift of a raft, while the sea proves fascinating. The work combines suspense, adventure, philosophical reflection and poetic prose.
The novel originally appeared in Italian as «Oceano mare» in 1993; the French translation is by Françoise Brun. It was awarded the Premio Letterario Viareggio Rèpaci.
For readers of literary fiction, contemporary Italian literature and current European narrative.
