Novecento

The story was made into The Legend of 1900, a 1998 film starring Tim Roth. Told through the eyes of Novecento's (the greatest pianist who ever played on the ocean) best friend, trumpeter Tim Tooney, Baricco's virile text echoes heroic fables and great myths, whilst winking at the beautiful and terrible minutiae that makes up life.
