Inhaltsangabe

Magnus is a deeply moving and enigmatic novel about the Holocaust and its ramifications. It is Sylvie Germain's most commercially successful novel in France. It was awarded. The Goncourt Lyceen Prize for 2005.
Magnus's story emerges in fragments, with the elements of his past appearing in a different light as he grows older. He discovers the voices of the deceased do not fall silent. He learns to listen to them and becomes attuned to the echoes of memory.
There are books, Sylvie Germain tells us, written in such a way that sometimes they have an effect on the reader similar to the experience of pressing to your ear one of those big seashells, and suddenly hearing in it the quiet roar of your own blood. Magnus is such a book, of haunting poetic lyricism and moral passion, weaving truth out of fiction, using imagination and intuition to unlock the enigma of a human life and confer on history the power of myth and fable.
