Graham Hendrick, an historian, has left his wife, Barbara, for the vivacious Ann and is more than pleased with his new life. Until, that is, the day he discovers Ann's celluloid past as a mediocre film actress. Soon Graham is pouncing on old clues, examining her books for inscriptions from past lovers, frequenting cinemas and poring over the bad movies she appeared in. It's not that he blames Anne for having a past before they met, but history has always mattered to him.

Story5
Staring at the Sun charts the life of Jean Serjeant, from her beginning as a naive, carefree country girl before the war through to her wry and trenchant old age in the year 2020. We follow her bruising experience in marriage, her probing of male truths, and her adventures in motherhood and in China, and we cannot fail to be moved by the questions she asks of life and the often unsatisfactory answers it provides.

Als Julian Barnes erfährt, dass er eine Krankheit hat, die für ihn tödlich sein kann, aber nicht sein muss, heißt das für ihn, die Dinge zu ordnen.

Story8
In these 17 essays (and one short story) the 2011 Man Booker Prize winner examines British, French, and American writers who have meant most to him, as well as the cross-currents and overlappings of their different cultures. From the deceptiveness of Penelope Fitzgerald to the directness of Hemingway, from Kipling's 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.

Julian Barnes's Man Booker Prize-shortlisted novel is based on Arthur Conan Doyle's extraordinary real-life fight for justice. Arthur and George grow up worlds and miles apart in late nineteenth-century Britain: Arthur in shabby-genteel Edinburgh, George in the vicarage of a small Staffordshire village. Arthur becomes a doctor, and then a writer; George a solicitor in Birmingham. Arthur is to become one of the most famous men of his age, George remains in hardworking obscurity.

Un despliegue de gran audacia técnica y elegante virtuosismo, al servicio de una amenísima trama en la que se alterna la ficción con hechos reales muy imaginativamente ordenados. Un libro que ha tenido un extraordinario éxito, tanto en Inglaterra como en Estados Unidos, y no sólo de crítica, sino también de ventas, lo cual resulta algo insólito teniendo en cuenta su carácter descaradamente literario.

No one has a better perspective on life on both sides of the channel than Julian Barnes. In these exquisitely crafted stories spanning several centuries, he takes as his universal theme the British in France: from the last days of a reclusive English composer, the beef consuming 'navvies' labouring on the Paris-Rouen railway to a lonely woman mourning the death of her brother on the battlefields of the Somme.

Story0
Жизнь человека как череда стрижек. Супружеская измена. Классическая русская литература. Былая любовь. Рассказы в сборнике "Лимонный стол" повествуют о разном, но всех их объединяет, во-первых, тема старения и перемен, приходящих с возрастом, а во-вторых, блистательный, сдержанный стиль Джулиана Барнса: современного классика английской литературы. Его юмор никогда не бывает громким — это изящный нюанс, украшающий повествование, а трагедия в его исполнении неизбежно имеет оттенок сатиры.

главный герой, Грэм, уходит от жены, потому что влюбился в Энн, но после свадьбы начинает мучаться от чудовищной ревности. Его любовь превращается в настоящую одержимость, а мысли о прошлых любовниках жены не дают ему покоя. Трагедия Грэма выглядит комично—в саркастическом изложении автора он выглядит мелочным и жалким, и мы поневоле начинаем задумываться: кто же всё-таки прав в этом браке? Могут ли такие разные люди достичь счастья? И существует ли выход из конфликта, в котором, казалось бы, они безнадежно увязли?

Julian Barnes' neues Hörbuch handelt von Ballonfahrt, Fotografie, Liebe und Verlust. Davon, dass man zwei Menschen oder zwei Dinge verbindet und sie wieder auseinanderreißt. Wir lernen Nadar kennen, Pionier der Ballonfahrt und einer der ersten Fotografen, die Luftaufnahmen machten, sowie Colonel Fred Burnaby, der zum eigenwilligen Bewunderer der extravaganten Schauspielerin Sarah Bernhardt wird. Und wir hören von Julian Barnes' eigene Trauer über den Tod seiner Frau - schonungslos offen, präzise und tief berührend.

Den nittenårige Paul møder Susan Macleod en sommer i 60’erne, da han er hjemme fra universitetet for at besøge sin familie. Susan er otteogfyrre, selvsikker, ironisk og en gift mor til to næsten voksne døtre. Snart - og tilsyneladende uundgåeligt - bliver Paul og Susan elskere. Senere flytter de sammen til London for at slippe væk fra Pauls forældre og Susans voldelige mand. Årtier senere er Susan død, og Paul ser nu tilbage på deres liv sammen. Han husker forelskelsen, hvordan han befriede hende fra et dødt ægteskab, og hvordan - gradvist og nådesløst - det hele faldt fra hinanden.

Миром Артура был католический Эдинбург, несколько потрепанный, но благородный; Джордж вырос в доме священника в стаффордширской деревушке. Артуру предстояло стать одним из самых знаменитых людей своего времени, Джордж стал юристом в Бирмингеме и был доволен своей скромной участью. Однако начинается новый век, и им предстоит неожиданное знакомство–благодаря событиям, о которых кричали все газеты того времени.

Julian Barnes lernte Dr. Samuel Pozzi (1846-1918) kennen, als er das Porträt Mann im roten Rock von John Sargent Singer betrachtete. Es zeigt den Arztpionier, Freigeist und intellektuellen Wissenschaftler, der seiner Zeit weit voraus war. Kenntnisreich und elegant beschreibt Julian Barnes das schillernde Leben Dr. Pozzis und entwirft das Bild einer Ära, die wir heute Belle Epoque nennen und die neben Schönheit und Glamour auch ihre hässlichen Seiten hatte.

Der sowjetische Starkomponist Dmitri Dmitrijewitsch Schostakowitsch gehört zu den renommiertesten Komponisten seines Landes, als Stalin eines Abends der Aufführung einer seiner Opern beiwohnt und schon in der Pause den Saal verlässt. Schostakowitsch wartet ab diesem Abend Nacht für Nacht angezogen, auf seinen gepackten Koffern sitzend neben dem Aufzug seiner Wohnung, dass er verhaftet wird. Doch niemand kommt. Stattdessen feiert er Erfolge mit seiner Fünften Symphonie und wird wieder Liebling der Massen. Aber nun muss er sich ungewollter Privilegien erwehren, die mit der Vereinnahmung durch die Partei einhergehen.
