Description
A novel about an old continent so filled with the past that there is no room left for the future. A well-known writer arrives at the Grandhotel Evropa to cope with the collapse of his fateful relationship by writing a novel. Once a luxurious hotel, it is slowly falling into disrepair, just as the powerful and splendid continent of the same name is declining in the author's eyes, having become a museum and amusement park for tourists in recent years. While the heroes of the novel search for the last Caravaggio painting and travel to various corners of the world, the Grandhotel Evropa is flooded with tourists from China. Ilja Pfeijffer, in a rich narrative full of historical and literary references, reflects on migration, sex, and art, illustrating how Europe and the rest of the world are changing under the pressure of globalization and mass tourism.
