LE PALAIS DE MéMOIRE
Book ID/图书代码: 04224011B46761
English Summary/英文概要: A turbulent yet delightful tale, taking the reader down intellectual, spiritual and sensual roads in a spellbinding journey, splendidly written by a successful author.
From the depths of an opium den, the Jesuit Artus de Leys – deserted by faith and torn by love – hesitates over the comfort of oblivion and the pain of remembrance. The man he loves exists only in his mind now. To bring him back to life, Artus builds an imaginary edifice inherited from an ancient art form: a palace of memory. With each “addition” to his palace, memories come flooding in, from his first visit to China in the 1720s, invited by the Emperor Kangxi to train young scholars in the Forbidden City, to his escapades in Paris and his friends of bygone days. He sees himself riding in the forests of Manchuria alongside his beloved pupil, Jade, the prince of the Willow clan, who he initiates to the Ars Memorativa and the Christian faith. Together they seek a definition of heaven, blending Christ and Confucius, revering the poet Li Po... But Artus can’t keep reminders of their passion’s fatal turn at bay, without seeing his palace of memory collapse...
