«Terrasse à Rome» is the novel by Pascal Quignard, published by Gallimard in paperback (176 pages, in French).
According to the back cover, the work is conceived as a meditation on the age when one stops seeing life and discovers time devouring it; the heart tightens and all that remains is to cling to some remnant to contemplate the spectacle of the world.
Originally published on February 2, 2000 in Gallimard's NRF collection, it won the Grand Prix du Roman de l'Académie Française that same year.
For readers of literary fiction who want to approach contemporary French narrative and the prose of Pascal Quignard.
