WINNER OF THE FRENCH-AMERICAN FOUNDATION TRANSLATION PRIZE 2026
LONGLISTED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE 2026
A filthy and exhausted soldier emerges from the Mediterranean wilderness-he is escaping from an unspecified war, trying to flee incessant violence and find refuge in solitude. Meanwhile, on September 11, 2001, aboard a small cruise ship, a scientific conference takes place to pay tribute to renowned East German mathematician Paul Heudeber, a committed communist and anti-fascist, and a survivor of the camps at Buchenwald.The tension grows between these two narrative threads, and-pulled together in Mathias Énard's enchanting, brilliant, erudite prose-time itself seems to become tightly interwoven, drawn together by the immense stakes of love and politics, loyalty and belief, hope and survival.
Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Mathias Énard is the author of Compass (winner of the Prix Goncourt, the Leipzig Prize, and the Premio von Rezzori, and shortlisted for the 2017 Man Booker International Prize); The Annual Banquet of the Gravediggers' Guild; Tell Them of Battles, Kings, and Elephants; Zone; and Street of Thieves.
