NOW A USA TODAY AND LOS ANGELES TIMES BESTSELLER From the award-winning author of The Memory Painter comes a sweeping and suspenseful tale of romance, fate, and fortune. Semele Cavnow appraises antiquities for an exclusive Manhattan auction house, deciphering ancient texts—and when she discovers a manuscript written in the time of Cleopatra, she knows it will be the find of her career. Its author tells the story of a priceless tarot deck, now lost to history, but as Semele delves further, she realizes the manuscript is more than it seems. Both a memoir and a prophecy, it appears to be the work of a powerful seer, describing devastating wars and natural disasters in detail thousands of years before they occurred. The more she reads, the more the manuscript begins to affect Semele’s life. But what happened to the tarot deck? As the mystery of her connection to its story deepens, Semele can’t shake the feeling that she’s being followed. Only one person can help her make sense of it all: her client, Theo Bossard. Yet Theo is arrogant and elusive, concealing secrets of his own, and there’s more to Semele’s desire to speak with him than she would like to admit. Can Semele even trust him? The auction date is swiftly approaching, and someone wants to interfere—someone who knows the cards exist, and that the Bossard manuscript is tied to her. Semele realizes it’s up to her to stop them: the manuscript holds the key to a two-thousand-year-old secret, a secret someone will do anything to possess.

Warned by a Hong Kong fortune-teller not to risk flying for a whole year, Tiziano Terzani — a vastly experienced Asia correspondent — took what he called “the first step into an unknown world. . . . It turned out to be one of the most extraordinary years I have ever spent: I was marked for death, and instead I was reborn.” Traveling by foot, boat, bus, car, and train, he visited Burma, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, China, Mongolia, Japan, Indonesia, Singapore, and Malaysia. Geography expanded under his feet. He consulted soothsayers, sorcerers, and shamans and received much advice — some wise, some otherwise — about his future. With time to think, he learned to understand, respect, and fear for older ways of life and beliefs now threatened by the crasser forms of Western modernity. He rediscovered a place he had been reporting on for decades. And it reinvigorated him. The result is an immensely engaging, insightful, and idiosyncratic journey, filled with unexpected delights and strange encounters. A bestseller and major prizewinner in Italy, A Fortune-Teller Told Me is a powerful warning against the new missionaries of materialism.

"When we arrived at her place, she invited me for a cup of coffee, but her coffee machine was broken. There was only water or whisky to drink; we chose whisky. We drank more than we should. The rest you can guess... we kissed each other and made love. I couldn't put the blame on Johnnie Walker, could I? Our state of consciousness was practically non-existent, that's why I do not recall much of that evening." Some spontaneous adventures can turn into nightmares. Apparently, no one is immune to fate. Luck, bad luck, destiny, they all belong to the mysteries of life beyond science. However, some people believe destinies can be changed. Some believe we can even provoke luck. And many believe Fortune Tellers can predict the future. Matthew is a middle-class scholar who falls in love with a poor girl. Soon his plans are undermined by a succession of bad news and in the blink of an eye his life turns completely upside down. Camilla, a Hungarian Fortune Teller, helps him to unveil some well-kept secrets. An apparently conventional love story turns out to be a puzzle full of mysteries, surprises and amazing revelations. The story is told through dialogues, at times funny and ironic, where different characters touch relevant topics, leading to reflections on man-made rules, morality, inappropriate behaviour, and the tendency to blame the destiny for whatever misfortune. Sometimes in life, certain rules have to be broken to enable individuals to be themselves, thinking and being without restraints or limitations. The authors believe this principle applies not only to the play itself but to its literary style as well.
