Paolo Sorrentino: Partenope
"Partenope" by Paolo Sorrentino is a novel about beauty, transience, love, memory and the search for the meaning of life. At the center of the story is Partenope, a woman whose life and personal history become an occasion for reflection on human relationships, time and the elusive nature of beauty.
