About this book

Gabriel Syme, a poet turned secret agent, infiltrates an anarchist group led by mysterious figures named after the days of the week. As his mission progresses, he discovers that reality is more complex than it seems and that each member hides his true identity. Between chases and revelations, the story moves between logic and absurdity. This novel mixes intrigue, philosophy, and humor, questioning order, chaos, and perception. The author builds an original and disorienting work.

The benefits of the bilingual method with Line-by-line synced layout

Every line of the original has its translation directly beneath it, at the same height. You never lose your place: your eye drops one line and lands on exactly the sentence it just read. This is the layout that lets you open a book in a language you barely know without ever giving up, and compare the two texts almost word for word.

The excerpt shows the method using another book from the catalogue, not this one.
