The weight of words
Pascal Mercier
"Now that he had a future again, he wanted to be wasteful with his time." – The new novel by Pascal Mercier, author of the bestseller "Night Train to Lisbon"
Simon Leyland has been fascinated by languages since he was a child. Against the will of his parents, he becomes a translator and unswervingly pursues the goal of learning all the languages spoken around the Mediterranean. From London he follows his wife Livia to Trieste, where she has inherited a publishing house. He believes he has found the ideal place for his work in the city of eminent writers – until a medical error throws him off track. But then the supposed catastrophe turns out to be a turning point at which he can completely rearrange his life once again. Once again, Pascal Mercier has succeeded in writing a philosophical novel, as moving as the "Night Train to Lisbon."
