i need that vibe of 'melancholic but beautiful isolationism that you slowly overcome to fall in love with the world' essence that some media has injected into my veins

I think my favorite genre of book is literary fiction with plots that don't make a terrible amount of sense, touched me deeply, and give me an indescribable amount of joy to try an explain to others with little success

the thing is, piranesi found the Great and Secret Knowledge. arne-sayles says that the Knowledge is what humanity lost over time to "progress" (which he imagines as the ability fly or to control the minds of others), but what was really lost is the appreciation of the natural beauty of the world, a devotion and loving kindness to others (including the dead, animals and your enemies) and respect for and reliance on the natural world. we lost that in our modern world due in part to ambition and the relentless pursuit of "progress" no matter what the cost. which is precisely why the Other cant access the Great and Secret Knowledge - because he is so focused on finding it he would take a man slave and barely spend any time in it. you can only have the Great and Secret Knowledge if you fully appreciate the House. you have to be its child. the Beauty of the House is immeasurable and its Kindness is infinite

Piranesi, Susanna Clarke

I wasn’t sure what to expect from Piranesi but it definitely wasn’t to get hit with one of the most beautifully depicted settings I have ever read. The world of this novel is gorgeous. Specifically, how Piranesi sees it is gorgeous. Page after page of detailed notes about the tides and the wildlife and the many, many statues and how beautiful all of it is. I can smell the salty sea air. I can hear the cries of the gulls echoing through the halls. I can see sunlight slanting through a window and gleaming on white marble and foamy water.
