In 1506, while working on the Pope's tomb, Michelangelo receives an unexpected invitation from Sultan Bayezid II to build a bridge over the Golden Horn in Constantinople. Mathias Énard's novel explores the artist's creative process, confronting the Renaissance master with the Ottoman world in a narrative that blurs the lines between reality and imagination. This educational edition includes critical commentary on the historical and literary context of the work.
