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).

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.

A novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single setting, The Sense of an Ending has the psychological and emotional depth and sophistication of Henry James at his best, and is a stunning achievement in Julian Barnes's oeuvre. This intense novel follows Tony Webster, a middle-aged man, as he contends with a past he never thought much about--until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance: one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. Tony thought he left this all behind as... This Man Booker Prize-winning novel is now a major motion picture.

"Ktoś, kto pisze tak dobrze o literaturze francuskiej, o Flaubercie i o Francji, naprawdę zasługuje na Legię Honorową" - Bernard Pivot, Apostrophes "Francuzi wprost czczą Juliana Barnesa, a my, niewystarczająco jak sądzę, tylko go podziwiamy" - Joanna Trollope Długi i pełen namiętności związek Juliana Barnesa z Francją zaczął się ponad czterdzieści lat temu.

Cross Channel
ISBN: 9780679767558 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In his first collection of short stories, Barnes explores the narrow body of water containing the vast sea of prejudice and misapprehension which lies between England and France with acuity humor, and compassion. For whether Barnes's English characters come to France as conquerors or hostages, laborers, athletes, or aesthetes, what they discover, alongside rich food and barbarous sexual and religious practices, is their own ineradicable Englishness. The ten stories that make up Cross Channel introduce us to a plethora of intriguing, original, and sometimes ill-fated characters....
