Barnes Julian: Sense of an Ending

Popis produktu

Publikace: Sense of an Ending - Julian Barnes. This title is the winner of the Man Booker Prize for Fiction in 2011. Tony Webster and his clique first met Adrian Finn at school. Sex-hungry and book-hungry, they would navigate the girl-less sixth form together, trading in affectations, in-jokes, rumour and wit. Maybe Adrian was a little more serious than the others, certainly more intelligent, but they all swore to stay friends for life. Now Tony is retired. He's had a career and a single marriage, a calm divorce. He's certainly never tried to hurt anybody. Memory, though, is imperfect. It can always throw up surprises, as a lawyer's letter is about to prove. "The Sense of an Ending" is the story of one man coming to terms with the mutable past. Laced with trademark precision, dexterity and insight, it is the work of one of the world's most distinguished writers. Publikace: Sense of an Ending - Julian Barnes. Tony Webster ist im mittleren Alter, er hat Karriere gemacht und geheiratet.§Er hat eine Scheidung hinter sich und lebt in dem guten Glauben, niemals jemandem verletzt zu haben. Die Erinnerung jedoch kann trügerisch sein. 'An extremely moving, a precise book about the imprecision of memory and how it constructs people, stories and histories.' Alasitair Bruce Guardian
