Features: From Baricco's evident fictional plot, readers can appreciate the fairy-tale-like beauty and adventurous thrill. His novels depict the bloody turmoil of war and murder in the world, as well as the sacred corner of love and tenderness in the heart. His uniquely surreal stories condense the long history of humanity and gather its complex emotions—ancient yet fresh, traditional yet modern, radiating endless charm. This book collects three of his major novel works: Silk, Don't Bleed, Castle of Anger, and a play adapted into a film that quickly became a global sensation, The Legend of 1900. Each work has a distinct theme but all possess a musical quality, presented in a theatrical form with a high degree of experimentation. Baricco believes that what matters is not explaining the world, but not explaining it.
