In this spellbinding new exploration of the varieties of love, the author of Call Me by Your Name lets us back into his characters’ lives years after their first meeting.
In Find Me, Aciman shows us Elio’s father, Samuel, on a trip from Florence to Rome to visit Elio, now a gifted classical pianist. A chance encounter on the train upends Sami’s visit and changes his life forever. Elio soon moves to Paris, where he, too, has a consequential affair, while Oliver, a New England college professor with a family, suddenly finds himself contemplating a return trip across the Atlantic.

Aciman is a master of sensibility, of the intimate details and the nuances of emotion that are the substance of passion. Find Me brings us back inside the world of one of our greatest contemporary romances to show us that in fact true love never dies.

Unrelenting currents of obsession and fear, fascination and desire threaten to overwhelm the lovers who at first feign indifference to the charge between them. What grows from the depths of their souls is a romance of scarcely six weeks’ duration, and an experience that marks them for a lifetime.

For what the two discover on the Riviera and during a sultry evening in Rome is the one thing they both already fear they may never truly find again: total intimacy. Rediscover one of the great love stories of our time.

Ciò che nasce dal profondo delle loro anime è una storia d’amore che dura appena sei settimane, un’esperienza che li segnerà per tutta la vita.

Perché ciò che i due scoprono sulla Riviera e durante una calda serata romana è l’unica cosa che entrambi temono di non ritrovare mai più: l’intimità totale. Riscopri una delle grandi storie d’amore del nostro tempo.

My Roman Year

1960s Rome. As teenage André stands on the dock, his mother fusses over their luggage – 32 suitcases, trunks and tea chests that contain their world. The ship will refuel and return to Alexandria, the home where they have left their father, as the Aciman family begin a new adventure in Rome.

André is now head of the family, with a little brother to keep in line and a mother to translate for – for although she’s mute, she is nothing if not communicative. Equal parts transporting and beautiful, this coming of age memoir shares the luminous, fragile truth of life for a family forever in exile, living in Rome, but still yet to find a home.

The Gentleman From Peru

We spend more time than we know trying to go back. We call it fantasising, we call it dreaming… but we’re all crawling back, each in his or her own way. A group of college friends find themselves marooned at a luxurious hotel on the Amalfi Coast in Italy.

While their boat is being repaired, they can’t help but observe the daily routine of a fellow hotel guest – a mysterious, white-bearded stranger who sits on the veranda each night and smokes one cigarette, sometimes two. When the group decides to invite the elegant traveller to lunch with them, they cannot begin to imagine the miraculous abilities, strange wisdom, and a life-changing story he is about to impart to one of the friends in particular… Deeply atmospheric and sensual, The Gentleman From Peru weaves achingly poignant insight into a story of regret, fate and epic love.

Passiamo più tempo di quanto immaginiamo cercando di tornare indietro. Lo chiamiamo fantasticare, lo chiamiamo sognare… ma stiamo tutti strisciando indietro, ognuno a modo suo. Un gruppo di amici del college si ritrova abbandonato in un lussuoso hotel sulla Costiera Amalfitana, in Italia.

Mentre la loro barca viene riparata, non possono fare a meno di osservare la routine quotidiana di un altro ospite dell’hotel: un misterioso sconosciuto con la barba bianca che si siede sulla veranda ogni sera e fuma una sigaretta, a volte due. Quando il gruppo decide di invitare l’elegante viaggiatore a pranzo, non possono nemmeno immaginare le capacità miracolose, la strana saggezza e una storia che cambierà la vita che sta per raccontare a uno degli amici in particolare… Profondamente suggestivo e sensuale, The Gentleman From Peru intreccia una visione struggente e toccante in una storia di rimpianti, destino e amore epico.
