Approach
A body of work at the crossroads of History, the human sciences, speculative fiction and the great contemporary questions.
01
Historical and scientific documentation
A long and rigorous research work, conducted from the sources — so that each narrative rests on a truth that has been lived rather than merely imagined.
02
Narrative strength
Dense plots, characters who carry their own trajectory, worlds that stand on the sole strength of the story.
03
Human depth
What the great shifts — historical, ecological, civilisational — do to individuals: it is on that scale that the books speak.
04
International reach
Narratives that cross oceans, languages and civilisations. Borders are novelistic material, not a horizon.
