It was awarded the Prix Goncourt des Lycéens that same year. The translation of the novel into English was published in 2018 by New Directions. SynopsisThe novel details the trip that Michelangelo could have made in May 1506 in Constantinople at the request of Sultan Bajazet who invited him to abandon the work of the tomb of Pope Julius II in order to instead design a bridge on the Golden Horn, an arm of the sea that separates the Istanbul from the district of Pera, on the Bosphorus. ReceptionJulie Étienne, for Le Monde, wrote that the novel is "solemn and graceful at the same time [...] even if it happens to graze preciousness, and doesn't always avoid somewhat stiff lyricism and symbolism."[1] References1. ^{{cite news |last1=Étienne |first1=Julie |title="Parle-leur de batailles, de rois et d'éléphants", de Mathias Enard : un Orient épique et lyrique à la fois |url=https://www.lemonde.fr/livres/article/2010/10/21/parle-leur-de-batailles-de-rois-et-d-elephants-de-mathias-enard_1429092_3260.html |publisher=Le Monde |date=21 October 2010}} {{2010s-hist-novel-stub}} 4 : 2010 French novels|Historical novels|Novels set in Istanbul|Novels set in Italy |
