Elizabeth Finch
ISBN: 9788081503955 / Słowacki / 2023 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Neil je neúspešný herec a študent predmetu Kultúra a civilizácia, ktorý vedie profesorka Elizabeth Finch. Medzi učiteľkou a žiakom vznikne zvláštne puto, ktoré však v ničom neponáša na typickú love story.
Najnovší román Juliana Barnesa, jedného z najvýznamnejších súčasných britských autorov, skvele reprezentuje jeho doterajšiu tvorbu. V knihe Barnes kombinuje príbehovú líniu o platonickej, intelektuálnej, no intenzívnej láske s esejistickou časťou. A práve esejistická časť je tento raz možno ešte hlbšia a radikálnejšia, ako v jeho... Neil je neúspešný herec a študent predmetu Kultúra a civilizácia, ktorý vedie profesorka Elizabeth Finch.

Jean Serjeant, the heroine of Julian Barnes s wonderfully provocative novel, seems ordinary, but has an extraordinary disdain for wisdom. And as Barnes winner of the Man Booker Prize for The Sense of an Ending follows her from her childhood in the 1920s to her flight into the sun in the year 2021, he confronts readers with the fruits of her relentless curiosity: pilgrimages to China and the Grand Canyon; a catalogue of 1940s sexual euphemisms; and a glimpse of technology in the twenty-first century (when The Absolute Truth can be universally accessed).
