Novel in the original Dutch : Grand Hotel Europa is the great novel by Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer about the old continent, where there is so much past that there is no place for the future and where the most realistic future perspective is offered by the exploitation of that past in the form of tourism. It is a theatrical and lyrical book about European identity, nostalgia and the end of an era. It is, disturbing as it may be, his best book to date. De schrijver neemt zijn intrek in het illustere maar in verval geraakte Grand Hotel Europa om te overdenken waar het is misgegaan met Clio, op wie hij in Genua verliefd is geworden en met wie hij in Venetie is gaan wonen. Hij reconstrueert het meeslepende verhaal van liefde in tijden van massatoerisme, van hun reizen naar Malta, Palmaria, Portovenere en de Cinque Terre en hun spannende zoektocht naar het laatste schilderij van Caravaggio. Intussen vat hij een fascinatie op voor de mysteries van Grand Hotel Europa en raakt hij steeds meer betrokken bij het wedervaren van de memorabele personages die het bevolken en die uit een eleganter tijdperk lijken te stammen, terwijl de globalisering ook op die schijnbaar in de tijd gestolde plek om zich heen begint te grijpen.
