Da un manoscritto ritrovato in una scatola di biscotti, parte questo romanzo giocoso e singolare. E quando uno scrittore come Paolo Maurensig apre un baule misterioso, dalla polvere delle carte può uscire solo meraviglia.«Nascondendosi dietro svariati alter ego Maurensig immette nella storia l'amore, il mistero, l'arte, lo spiritismo; scrive un apocrifo con perfetto, controllato mimetismo, costellato di citazioni e riferimenti, omaggio alla figura emblematica del più grande scrittore-viaggiatore romantico di fine Ottocento. Ma lo fa portando la riflessione sull'oggi e sul mestiere di scrivere, in un mondo delle lettere che sembra quello contemporaneo, diviso tra successo e qualità, tra libri di consumo e alta letteratura» - Cristina Taglietti, la Lettura\r\n\r\n\r\nPimpernel è il nome di un fiore selvatico. E Pimpernel è la protagonista indomita e temeraria del romanzo di Paul Temple, un giovane scrittore americano in visita a Venezia, che assomiglia molto a Henry James. Amarsi a Venezia, si sa, è uno struggimento senza tempo. E quando Mr Temple incontra Miss Annelien Bruins, dietro i suoi occhi palpitanti scorge subito l’ombra di un destino avverso. Ma la malia della città li spinge in un’avventurosa caccia al tesoro, per campielli e mercati rionali, tra oche infuriate e tinozze di anguille, sulle tracce di un dipinto che racchiuda in sé l’essenza della bellezza.\r\n\r\nPaul Temple è un giovane scrittore americano, riservato e ambizioso, in cerca dell’ispirazione per una nuova opera. E Venezia è una fonte inestinguibile per gli spiriti assetati di bellezza: le botteghe degli antiquari, la laguna, la luce magnificente, le vetrine con i liuti rinascimentali. In uno dei salotti cosmopoliti e artistici della città, Mr Temple incontra Miss Annelien Bruins, occhi azzurri e una spolverata di efelidi sulle guance, pare la musa di un preraffaellita. Tra passeggiate per le calli, dissertazioni sull’arte e persino una seduta spiritica, i due innamorati si mettono alla ricerca di un dipinto misterioso che custodisca la bellezza in sé e accenda la fantasia dello scrittore. Ma la bellezza, necessaria quanto la luce del sole, può accecare per sempre. Paul Temple decide di correre il rischio, del resto ha lasciato la patria subito dopo aver pubblicato il suo ultimo romanzo, Pimpernel, temendo un insuccesso. Annelien però ha un segreto, che rende lei infelice e il loro un amore impossibile. Il nuovo romanzo di Paolo Maurensig è una matrioska letteraria, un travolgente racconto di amore e morte che sembra scritto da Henry James. «Quasi sempre la nostra scelta ricalca la via piú comoda, il comportamento piú corretto, la strada lastricata piuttosto che l’impervio sentiero. Forse solo Pimpernel sarebbe in grado di imboccare quest’ultimo».
