ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK
Piranesi, by Susanna Clarke, follows the story of a man living in a vast, labyrinthine house filled with tides and statues. The protagonist, known as Piranesi, meticulously records his observations in journals, believing he is one of only two living people in this world. As the narrative progresses, he begins to question his understanding of reality and his place in this strange world, discovering that his memories have been manipulated and that his identity is more complex than he thought. The story explores themes of memory, identity, and the search for knowledge, while also delving into the nature of good and evil through Piranesi's interactions with another man known as the Other and a mysterious figure known as 16. Ultimately, it is a journey of self-discovery that highlights the importance of finding meaning in one's surroundings rather than an elusive, abstract knowledge.
