Title: Silk - Alessandro Baricco - 2009 - book

Summary :

Around 1860, to save silkworm farms contaminated by an epidemic, Hervé Joncour undertook four expeditions to Japan to purchase healthy eggs. Between the Vivarais Mountains and Japan, it is the clash of two worlds, a story of love and war, a marvelous alchemy that weaves the novel with impalpable threads. Long and dangerous journeys, impossible loves that continue without ever having begun, characters of desire and passion, the velvet of a voice, the sanctification of a magnificent and sensual fabric, and the slowness, the slowness of the seasons and immutable time. Silk, published in Italy in 1996 and in France in 1997, became a cult novel in just a few months - a deserved success for the most refined of young Italian writers.
