The poetic story of the novella Silk takes place in the 1860s. Its protagonist is the merchant Hervé Jouncour, a seller of silkworm eggs, who goes "to the end of the world" in search of his goods, to the mysterious Japan, until recently closed to foreigners. Hervé Jouncour is not an adventurer, but a man "who likes to assist his life and considers any ambition to live it inappropriate". But a fateful encounter awaits him too. This fragile, dreamlike tale of unspoken pain and unfulfilled longing has enchanted readers around the world.
