Барнс Джулиан

This is, in short, a complete, unsettling, and frequently exhilarating vision of the world, starting with the voyage of Noah's ark and ending with a sneak preview of heaven!

This is a very extraordinary book. Julian Barnes writes his own understanding and interpretation of Bible. Many people can consider this book blasphemous, but still it is very interesting and unusual.

Vintage, 2000. - 185 p. Booker Prize Finalist"Wickedly funny." --The New York TimesImagine an England where all the pubs are quaint, where the Windsors behave themselves (mostly), where the cliffs of Dover are actually white, and where Robin Hood and his merry men really are merry.

Vintage, 1992. - 126 p. Only the author of Flaubert's Parrot could give us a novel that is at once a note-perfect rendition of the angsts and attitudes of English adolescence, a giddy comedy of sexual awakening in the 1960s, and a portrait of the accommodations that some of us call "growing up" and others "selling out."
