Winner of the Prix Goncourt (France), the Leipzig Prize (Germany), Premio Von Rezzori (Italy), shortlisted for the 2017 International Man Booker Prize, shortlisted for the Dublin Literary Award As night falls over Vienna, Franz Ritter, an insomniac musicologist, takes to his sickbed with an unspecified illness and spends a restless night drifting between dreams and memories, revisiting the important chapters of his life: his ongoing fascination with the Middle East and his numerous travels to Istanbul, Aleppo, Damascus, and Tehran, as well as the various writers, artists, musicians, academics, orientalists, and explorers who populate this vast dreamscape. At the center of these memories is his elusive, unrequited love, Sarah, a fiercely intelligent French scholar caught in the intricate tension between Europe and the Middle East.With exhilarating prose and sweeping erudition, Mathias nard pulls astonishing elements from disparate sources--nineteenth-century composers and esoteric orientalists, Balzac and Agatha Christie--and binds them together in a most magical way.

In 1506, Michelangelo--a young but already renowned sculptor--is invited by the sultan of Constantinople to design a bridge over the Golden Horn. The sultan has offered, along with an enormous payment, the promise of immortality, since Leonardo da Vinci's design was rejected: "You will surpass him in glory if you accept, for you will succeed where he has failed, and you will give the world a monument without equal." Michelangelo, after some hesitation, flees Rome and an irritated Pope Julius II--whose commission he leaves unfinished--and arrives in Constantinople for this truly epic project. Once there, he explores the beauty and wonder of the Ottoman Empire, sketching and describing his impressions along the way, as he struggles to create what could be his greatest architectural masterwork. Tell Them of Battles, Kings, and Elephants--constructed from real historical fragments--is a thrilling page-turner about why stories are told, why bridges are built, and how seemingly unmatched fragments, seen from the opposite sides of civilization, can mirror one another.

WINNER OF THE 2024 FRENCH-AMERICAN FOUNDATION TRANSLATION PRIZE LONGLISTED FOR THE 2024 NATIONAL TRANSLATION AWARD IN PROSE To research his thesis on contemporary agrarian life, anthropology student David Mazon moves from Paris to La Pierre-Saint-Christophe, a village in the marshlands of western France. Determined to understand the essence of the local culture, the intrepid young scholar scurries around restlessly on his moped to interview residents.But what David doesn't yet know is that here, in this seemingly ordinary place, once the stage for wars and revolutions, Death leads a dance: when one thing perishes, the Wheel of Life recycles its soul and hurls it back into the world as microbe, human, or wild animal, sometimes in the past, sometimes in the future. And once a year, Death and the living observe a temporary truce during a gargantuan three-day feast where gravediggers gorge themselves on food, drink, and language.Brimming with Mathias nard's characteristic wit and encyclopedic brilliance, The Annual Banquet of the Gravediggers' Guild is a riotous novel where the edges between past and present are constantly dissolving against a Rabelaisian backdrop of excess.

Skrevet på kanten af det arabiske forår, om en ung marokkaners vaklen mellem religiøs vækkelse og vestlig frihed. Mellem radikalisering og en kriminel løbebane. Den unge mand udstødes af sin familie og starter en mindre Odyssé i Nordafrika og Spanien. En fortælling om identitet og drømme i en moderne verden, hvor tradition og fremtidshåb kæmper med og mod hinanden. Han er ung, han er marokkaner, født og opvokset i Tanger, han er muslim til husbehov og tørster efter frihed og oplevelser i et samfund, der stort set ingen muligheder giver. I skolen har han lært et par spanske brokker og fransk nok til at proppe sig med noir-krimier. De sidste teenageår går med at fable om kusinen Meryems bryster. Det ender med, at han går i seng med hende - en enkelt gang, kun én, men de bliver taget på fersk gerning, han bliver gennembanket af sin far og smidt ud. Dér står han alene på gaden uden en øre på lommen, uden at ane, hvor han skal gå hen ...
