Editor's Note
Open the pages and enter the labyrinthine House, where tides fill the monumental Halls, and the corridors and vestibules are home to thousands upon thousands of statues. This is the realm of Piranesi, the titular character of Susanna Clarke's poignant novel that examines, among other things, the beauty and sorrow of solitude. It is a truly ingenious puzzle of a book – one that’s best discovered firsthand. The less you know at the outset, the more captivated you'll be.
Bound in deep blues and gleaming golds, this Folio edition is as beautiful and enigmatic as its contents. The artist Julin De Narvaez has distilled the mystery and majesty of the House into six gorgeous illustrations, while a brand-new afterword by the author offers a glimpse into the sparks of inspiration that led to Piranesi's creation.
