Silk. A novel by Alessandro Baricco. Translated by Kolbrún Sveinsdóttir.
Lavilledieu in the South of France in 1861. Hervé Joncour is a wealthy man, but his wealth is not based on the technological wonders of the time, coal or steel, but on a feminine lightness - silk. However, the silkworms are threatened by an epidemic that has spread throughout the Mediterranean countries, and Hervé Joncour heads to Japan to buy healthy eggs. There, a world so finely woven that it seems nothing more than a fantasy awaits him.
