«Il signore del tempo» is the contemporary novel by Christophe Bataille, published by Einaudi in paperback (123 pages, in Italian).
In a coastal duchy of late seventeenth-century France, the melancholy Duke Gonzagues reigns over an idle and envious court; his two hundred and eighteen pendulum clocks mark a strange time. The arrival of Arturo, a Polish clockmaker, disturbs that stillness and weaves with the duke a relationship of power and silent seduction.
The work belongs to Einaudi's I coralli collection (number 82), translated by Paola Gallo.
For readers of historical fiction who enjoy stories about power, solitude, and the passage of time.
