And though a stroke of luck prevents him from becoming yet...

In his latest novel, Julian Barnes, author of Talking It Over and A History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters, trains his laser-bright prose on the collapse of Communism in Eastern Europe.

Winner of the Man Booker Prize for Fiction 2011. Christopher and Toni found in each other the perfect companion for that universal adolescent pastime: smirking at the world as you find it.

Cross Channel
ISBN: 9780679767558 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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....
