È troppo vecchio e stanco per amare, ma è condannato a non morire. Per secoli la voce narrante di questo romanzo ha fatto il cantastorie, errando per l’Europa senza sosta, senza trovar pace, espiando il fatto di aver rinnegato l’amore. Ma ora, alle soglie del Cinquecento, ha deciso di fermarsi, perché tutto intorno a lui sta cambiando. Per la prima volta compra una casa, a Copenaghen. E per la prima volta, invece di parlare d’amore, ascolta. Così, per cinque secoli, raccoglie le storie d’amore più significative. Quelle capaci, di volta in volta, di cogliere l’essenza stessa di questo sentimento e, al contempo, quella del secolo in cui si svolgono. Nel Cinquecento della Riforma, l’amore si manifesta nel potentissimo canto di un’orfana. Poi, si frammenta nel racconto seicentesco di una vita dedicata alla pittura. Si mette alla prova in esperimenti scientifici, sotto il segno della ragione illuminista. Nell’Ottocento dei grandi pensatori si trasfigura in filosofia. E nel Novecento l’amore non può che trasformarsi in merce. Eppure, nella sua inafferrabilità, l’amore rimane identico a se stesso. E, come al narratore, anche a noi non resta che una cosa: ascoltare.
