«Océan mer» is the novel by Alessandro Baricco, published by Albin Michel in paperback (274 pages, in French).
In an isolated boarding house called Almayer, facing the sea, a group of characters seeks something: a painter, a professor, a young woman who does not want to die. Their destinies cross in a narrative where ferocity and pity coexist; it can be read as a thriller, a prose poem or a philosophical tale, with the ocean in the background.
The novel, originally published in Italian as «Oceano mare» in 1993, won the Premio Letterario Viareggio Rèpaci. This 1998 French edition includes the translation by Françoise Brun.
For readers with a command of French interested in contemporary literary fiction, Italian literature and magical realism.
Alessandro Baricco is an Italian writer, director and performer. His novels have been translated into a number of languages.
