Summary of Novecento - The Legend of the Pianist on the Ocean - By Alessandro Baricco

Novecento turned around and said to me: “I was born on this ship. And here the world went to two thousand people at a time. There were wishes here too, but no more than there could be between an arch and a stern. You played your happiness on a keyboard that wasn't infinite. That's how I learned. The earth, it's too big for me. It's too long a journey. Is too beautiful a woman. It's too strong a scent. It's music I can't play. Forgive me. But I'm never going to get out of here”.
