Product Information
Winner of the Prix Goncourt (France), the Leipzig Prize (Germany), Premio Von Rezzori (Italy), shortlisted for the 2017 International Man Booker Prize, shortlisted for the Dublin Literary Award As night falls over Vienna, Franz Ritter, an insomniac musicologist, takes to his sickbed with an unspecified illness and spends a restless night drifting between dreams and memories, revisiting the important chapters of his life: his ongoing fascination with the Middle East and his numerous travels to Istanbul, Aleppo, Damascus, and Tehran, as well as the various writers, artists, musicians, academics, orientalists, and explorers who populate this vast dreamscape. At the center of these memories is his elusive, unrequited love, Sarah, a fiercely intelligent French scholar caught in the intricate tension between Europe and the Middle East. With exhilarating prose and sweeping erudition, Mathias Ã%nard pulls astonishing elements from disparate sources--nineteenth-century composers and esoteric orientalists, Balzac and Agatha Christie--and binds them together in a most magical way.Â

Reviews
Comparisons of Compass with The Thousand and One Nights and with Proust (and Ritter thinks about both) are not only inevitable, but necessary., Énard's prose, which tends to pile descriptive clauses ever higher on top of one another... can be mesmerizing. But it's the larger project of his writing that bears particular consideration: in his fiction, Énard is constructing an intricate, history-rich vision of a persistently misunderstood part of the world., Mr. Énard fuses recollection and scholarly digression into a swirling, hypnotic stream-of-consciousness narration. [...] So this sad yet invigorating novel is both a love letter to a vanishing discipline and an elegy. Franz's mental circumnavigations constitute a celebration of the civilizing power of knowledge and 'the beauty of sharing and diversity.', Compass is as challenging, brilliant, and--God help me--important a novel as is likely to be published this year., It's with no small amount of urgency that Mathias nard's Compass, an engrossing meditation on the cultural and historical tension between Europe and the Islamic world, arrives from New Directions in a gorgeous translation by Charlotte Mandell., Mathias nard has found a way to restore death to life and life to death, and so joins the first rank of novelists, the bringers of fire, who even as they can't go on, do., A novelist like Énard feels particularly necessary right now, though to say this may actually be to undersell his work. He is not a polemicist but an artist, one whose novels will always have something to say to us., In a time of fear and loathing, Énard's magnum opus points us toward the reality behind so many myths of the Orient., [H]is most far-reaching and accomplished book and one of the finest European novels in recent memory., A fever-dream meditation on East and West and a lost love that binds the two worlds... Lyrical and intellectually rich without ever being ponderous, reminiscent at turns of Mann's Death in Venice and Bowles' Sheltering Sky., Mr. Énard fuses recollection and scholarly digression into a swirling,hypnotic stream-of-consciousness narration. [...] So this sad yetinvigorating novel is both a love letter to a vanishing discipline andan elegy. Franz's mental circumnavigations constitute a celebration ofthe civilizing power of knowledge and 'the beauty of sharing anddiversity.', Mathias Énard has found a way to restore death to life and life to death, and so joins the first rank of novelists, the bringers of fire, who even as they can't go on, do., He writes passionately, with a boundless faith that the accumulated wisdom of centuries of learning, art, music, and philosophy on all sides of the Mediterranean zone will prevail over the desiccated vision of Islamists and ethno-nationalists of all stripes., In this magisterial, exquisitely erudite novel, the insomniac meditations of the bedridden and lovelorn musicologist Franz Ritter take the reader on a vast, crisscrossing perambulation through the rich history of the commingling of Orient and Occident in the 19th and early 20th centuries., Richly written, baroquely observant, and so terrifyingly erudite in its dizzying display of knowledge that some readers might be overwhelmed, this propulsive work explores the meaning of the Orient and the Orientalist impulse in the West..., nard's prose, which tends to pile descriptive clauses ever higher on top of one another... can be mesmerizing. But it's the larger project of his writing that bears particular consideration: in his fiction, nard is constructing an intricate, history-rich vision of a persistently misunderstood part of the world., A novelist like nard feels particularly necessary right now, though to say this may actually be to undersell his work. He is not a polemicist but an artist, one whose novels will always have something to say to us., In a time of fear and loathing, nard's magnum opus points us toward the reality behind so many myths of the Orient., This astonishing, encyclopedic, and otherwise outré meditation by Énard on the cultural intersection of East and West takes the form of an insomniac's obsessive imaginings--dreams, memories, and desires--which come to embody the content of a life, or perhaps several.... [An] opium addict's dream of a novel., A fever-dream meditation on East and West and a lost love that binds the two worlds... Lyrical and intellectually rich without ever being ponderous, reminiscent at turns of Mann's Death in Venice and Bowles' Sheltering Sky., A novelist like Énard feels particularly necessary right now, though tosay this may actually be to undersell his work. He is not a polemicistbut an artist, one whose novels will always have something to say to us., For all its sandstorm of scholarship, translated with tireless eloquence by Charlotte Mandell, Compass aches with that simple yearning. 'Only love' of a person or a culture, thinks Franz under the stars of Syria, 'opens us up to the other.', Compass is a novel about many things. At its surface it is about the pull of unmet dreams and ambitions. The falsities of love. But at the crux of this examination of a human life is the fabric of cultures intersecting--and in the truth that the pathos of grief exempts no one., It's with no small amount of urgency that Mathias Énard's Compass, an engrossing meditation on the cultural and historical tension between Europe and the Islamic world, arrives from New Directions in a gorgeous translation by Charlotte Mandell., This astonishing, encyclopedic, and otherwise outr meditation by nard on the cultural intersection of East and West takes the form of an insomniac's obsessive imaginings--dreams, memories, and desires--which come to embody the content of a life, or perhaps several.... [An] opium addict's dream of a novel., Compass, in its relentlessly discursive impressiveness, embodies an uncompromising vision of the novel as relatively static political and cultural essay., Mr. nard fuses recollection and scholarly digression into a swirling, hypnotic stream-of-consciousness narration. [...] So this sad yet invigorating novel is both a love letter to a vanishing discipline and an elegy. Franz's mental circumnavigations constitute a celebration of the civilizing power of knowledge and 'the beauty of sharing and diversity.', Énard's prose, which tends to pile descriptive clauses ever higher ontop of one another... can be mesmerizing. But it's the larger project ofhis writing that bears particular consideration: in his fiction, Énardis constructing an intricate, history-rich vision of a persistentlymisunderstood part of the world.
