Mircea Cartarescu - Ofuscante

Hailed as one of the novels that renewed modern European literature, "Dazzling" is a unique journey through the space of memory.
Dazzling is the first book in a trilogy of standalone novels. In it, Mircea Cărtărescu constructs a narrative about the space of memory and its dreamlike aspects. An exciting journey that grips the reader as it embarks on a series of interwoven stories, some true, some imagined, some dreamed, stories that reveal how the mental mechanisms we use to tell them are constructed.

Based on the most current neuroscience theories, the author brilliantly demonstrates how the human brain constructs its identity by intertwining memory, dream, and desire. In doing so, Cărtărescu expands this novel into the architecture of a national and international evocation, demonstrating how identities are constructed and reinvented in the same way, a way so human, so unique.
