Description

Call Me By Your Name by André Aciman is a masterful exploration of the human heart's intricacies. Set against the captivating backdrop of the Italian Riviera during the 1980s, the story unfolds over the course of a languid summer. Seventeen-year-old Elio Perlman, a gifted musician and introspective young man, is the son of a professor who annually invites a student to live with his family and help with academic paperwork. Enter Oliver, a dazzling and charismatic 24-year-old American scholar, whose arrival sets the stage for an unexpected and life-altering romance.

As Elio and Oliver navigate their days filled with artistic endeavours, philosophical discussions, and social gatherings, an unspoken and initially unacknowledged attraction begins to simmer between them. This intense connection gradually evolves into a profound and passionate affair, their bond characterised by fervent desire, intellectual camaraderie, and a mutual search for identity and self-discovery.

Throughout these hot, restless weeks, the boundaries between friendship and desire blur, leading to an intense exploration of intimacy and emotional vulnerability. Both Elio and Oliver grapple with the intensity of their feelings, the consequences of societal expectations, and their personal apprehensions about love and loss. As their relationship deepens, readers are taken on a journey filled with the tender moments and heart-wrenching realities of first love.

This lavish hardback edition, never before available, celebrates one of the greatest love stories of our time. It is the perfect gift for anyone swept away by the poignant and unforgettable story of Elio and Oliver. André Aciman’s evocative prose captures the beauty, fragility, and transcendence of love, making Call Me By Your Name an essential addition to any literary collection.
