Schmitt Eric - Emmanuel - The Carousel Of Desire - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: From the author of The Most Beautiful Book in the World a literary tour de force of contemporary eroticism. This message is just to say I love you. Signed: You know who. A love note is delivered anonymously to each inhabitant of Piazza Guy d Arezzo in Brussels one morning triggering a series of adventures and misadventures that over 600 pages develop into a sumptuous comedy of manners that is sexy sensual affecting encyclopaedic and unlike anything written previously by Schmitt. Employing a roving camera technique that recalls both the stylish cinematic tradition of French New Wave and the films by Fellini and Antonioni The Carousel of Desire is a sexual and romantic saga told with a master storyteller's feel for character and plot and a philosopher's abiding preoccupation with what makes life truly worthwhile. Schmitt tells a colourful tale about class and community about the varieties of human experience. His love of coincidence and serendipity is surpassed only by his affection for his all - too - human characters: Zachary Bidermann the powerful E. U. commissioner; Faustina the fashionable book publicist; Franc ois - Maxime de Couvigne the happily married banker with more than a few secrets; Marcelle enamoured of a handsome illegal immigrant; and Miss Beauvert who makes love with her parrot Copernicus. These and many more unforgettable characters animate this story of simmering desire and mischievous Eros.
