Krátky popis
THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer's moving and
addictive masterpiece of European identity, nostalgia and the end
of an era. 'A masterpiece: grandiose style, brilliant and rich. It
will defy the ages' Trouw (The Netherlands) 'The love of my life
lives in my past.That is, despite the alliteration, a terrible
sentence to write. I do not want to come to the conclusion that, as
it is the case for the hotel where I am staying and the continent
after which it is named, the best time is behind me and that I have
little more to expect from the future than to live on my past.' A
writer takes residence in the illustrious but decaying Grand Hotel
Europa, to think about where things went wrong with Clio, with whom
he fell in love in Genoa and moved to Venice. He reconstructs a
compelling story of love in times of mass tourism, about their
trips to Malta, Palmaria, Portovenere and the Cinque Terre and
their thrilling search for the last painting of
Caravaggio.Meanwhile, he becomes fascinated by the mysteries of
Grand Hotel Europe and gets more and more involved with the
memorable characters who inhabit it, and who seem to come from a
more elegant time. All the while, globalisation seems to be
grabbing hold even on this place frozen in time. Grand Hotel Europa
is Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer's masterly novel on the old continent,
where so much history resides that there is no place left for a
future and where the most realistic future perspectives are offered
in the form of exploiting the past in the shape of tourism.
