Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. From the bestselling, Booker Prize-winning author of The Sense of an Ending and one of Britains greatest writers: a brilliant collection of essays on the books and authors that have meant the most to him throughout his illustrious career. "[A] blissfully intelligent gathering of literary essays." Financial Times In these seventeen essays (plus a short story and a special preface, A Life with Books), Julian Barnes examines the British, French and American writers who have shaped his writing, as well as the cross-currents and overlappings of their different cultures. From the deceptiveness of Penelope Fitzgerald to the directness of Hemingway, from Kiplings view of France to the French view of Kipling, from the many translations of Madame Bovary to the fabulations of Ford Madox Ford, from the National Treasure status of George Orwell to the despair of Michel Houellebecq, Julian Barnes considers what fiction is, and what it can do. As he writes, Novels tell us the most truth about life: what it is, how we live it, what it might be for, how we enjoy and value it, and how we lose it. Originally published in Great Britain as separate works: Through the window and A life with books. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
