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.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: The Carousel Of Desire\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Schmitt Eric - Emmanuel\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Europa Editions\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781609453466\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 672 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 9\/20\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Modern \u0026amp; Contemporary Fiction","brand":"Schmitt Eric - Emmanuel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49621751267633,"sku":"IN-G-9781609453466","price":17.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781609453466.jpg?v=1724715583","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781609453466-the-carousel-of-desire","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
