Elizabeth Finch de Julian Barnes [electronic resource] : (Les Fiches de Lecture d'Universalis) / Encyclopaedia Universalis

Elizabeth Finch (trad. J.-P. Aoustin, Mercure de France, 2022), quatorzième roman de l'écrivain britannique Julian Barnes, surprend tout autant qu'il trouve sa place parmi les publications polymorphes de cet auteur caméléon. Ouvrage de fiction mettant en scène un narrateur fasciné par son étonnante professeure de culture et de civilisation, il comporte en son volet central un développement inattendu sur Julien l'Apostat (331-363), dernier empereur païen de Rome qui échoua à endiguer l'avancée du christianisme. Barnes est coutumier du mélange des genres et des portraits décalés de figures réelles, depuis le magnifique Perroquet de Flaubert (1984), roman-essai insolite sur l'ermite de Croisset, jusqu'à Arthur & George (2005), récit d'une erreur judiciaire qu'Arthur Conan Doyle s'efforça de réparer. Les ouvrages non fictionnels de Barnes brouillent tout autant les frontières génériques, tels Rien à craindre (2008), o l'auteur livre ses réflexions sur la mort, Dieu et la religion, Quand to...

A vision of the world : selected stories / John Cheever ; selected and with an introduction by Julian Barnes.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, John Cheever - the 'Chekhov of the suburbs' - forever altered the landscape of contemporary literature. In a career that spanned nearly fifty years, his short stories gave voice to the repressed desires and smouldering disappointments of 1950s America as it teetered on the edge of spiritual awakening and sexual liberation in the ensuing decades. These satirical, fantastical, sad and transcendent stories show Cheever in all his brilliance and continue to speak directly to the heart of human experience.

Elizabeth Finch [electronic resource] / Barnes, Julian

Eine Hommage an die Philosophie Neil, gescheiterter Schauspieler, Vater und Ehemann, besucht im Abendstudium eine Vorlesung zu Kultur und Zivilisation und ist fasziniert von der stoischen und anspruchsvollen Professorin Elizabeth Finch. Er hat zwar immer wieder Affären, doch prägt das Ringen um ihre Anerkennung sein Leben. Auch nach Beendigung des Studiums bleiben die beiden in Kontakt. Als sie stirbt, erbt Neil ihre Bibliothek und stürzt sich in ein Studium von Julian Apostata, der für Elizabeth Finch ein Schlüssel für die Bedeutung von Geschichte an sich war: Der römische Kaiser wollte im 4. Jahrhundert das Christentum rückgängig machen. Wer war Julian Apostata? Und was wäre passiert, wenn er nicht so jung gestorben wäre? Frank Arnold wurde 2014 mit dem Deutschen Hörbuchpreis ausgezeichnet. Er schätzt das Werk von Julian Barnes sehr und hat von ihm bereits die Romane Der Lärm der Zeit, Die einzige Geschichte und Der Mann im roten Rock eindrucksvoll als Hörbücher umgesetzt.

Elizabeth Finch / Julian Barnes.

We'd like to introduce you to Elizabeth Finch. We invite you to take her course in Culture and Civilisation. Her ideas are not to everyone's taste. But she will change the way you see the world. 'The task of the present is to correct our understanding of the past. And that task becomes the more urgent when the past cannot be corrected.' Elizabeth Finch was a teacher, a thinker, an inspiration, always rigorous, always thoughtful. With careful empathy, she guided her students to develop meaningful ideas and to discover their centres of seriousness. As a former student unpacks her notebooks and remembers her uniquely inquisitive mind, her passion for reason resonates through the years. Her ideas unlock the philosophies of the past, and explore key events that show us how to make sense of our lives today. And underpinning them all is the story of J, Julian the Apostate, her historical soulmate and fellow challenger to the institutional and monotheistic thinking that has always threatened to divide us.

A vision of the world : selected stories / John Cheever ; selected and with introduction by Julian Barnes.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, John Cheever - variously referred to as 'Ovid in Ossining' and the 'Chekhov of the suburbs' - forever altered the landscape of contemporary literature. In a career that spanned nearly fifty years, his short stories, often published in the New Yorker, gave voice to the repressed desires and smouldering disappointments of 1950s America as it teetered on the edge of spiritual awakening and sexual liberation in the ensuing Sixties. Up until now, John Cheever's stories have only been available in Collected Stories, but with Julian Barnes' selection we have the first fully authorised introduction to Cheever's work. Satirical, fantastical, sad and transcendent, these are stories that speak directly to the heart of human experience, and remain a testament to the wit and vision of one of the most important and influential short story writers of the twentieth century.

Der Mann im roten Rock [electronic resource] / Julian Barnes

Eine Reise durch das Paris der Belle Epoque 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: Hysterisch, narzisstisch und gewalttätig, eine Zeit mit mehr Parallelen zu unserer Gegenwart, als wir uns das gemeinhin vorstellen. Dr. Pozzi stand für einen engen Austausch zwischen England und Frankreich. Julian Barnes beleuchtet diese fruchtbaren Beziehungen und schreibt zugleich ein spannendes Plädoyer, an der Idee Europas festzuhalten.

Midlemarch [electronic resource]

"Si tuviéramos una visión y un sentimiento agudos de toda la vida humana ordinaria, sería como oír crecer la hierba y latir el corazón de la ardilla, y moriríamos a causa de rugido que se encuentra al otro lado del silencio".Con esta novela George Eliot (el pseudónimo bajo el que escribió sus obras la autora Mary Anne Evans) marcó un hito no sólo en la historia de la literatura del siglo XIX, sino también de la literatura universal.Llevando como subtítulo de forma muy acertada "Un estudio de la vida de provincias", ahí es donde se sitúa la acción, en la ciudad ficticia de Midlemarch que podría ser una ciudad de provincias cualquiera ubicada en la región de Midlands en Inglaterra, a mediados del siglo XIX.Construida por varias historias que se cruzan, y un gran número de personajes, la autora logra entrelazar magistralmente los distintos relatos y nos va adentrando en la vida provinciana de sus 3 parejas protagonistas y sus vidas matrimoniales. Mejor podríamos decir: sus conflictos matrimoniales.Al mismo tiempo, se van deslizando de forma subyacente los otros temas que le interesaba retratar: el papel de la mujer en la sociedad de la época, el matrimonio y la religión, la educación o las reformas políticas, los inicios del ferrocarril, los avances en la ciencia y la medicina...En ocasiones escrita con un tono didáctico, tiene un tono pausado que logró cautivar tanto al público de la época como de crítica literaria posterior.Figuras de peso literario como Julian Barnes o Martin Amis han dicho que "Middlemarch es probablemente la mejor novela escrita en lengua inglesa".Fue adaptada con gran éxito también en su formato audiovisual en una serie de la BBC en 1994 que fue en parte filmada en la ciudad de Stamford, en el condado inglés de Lincolnshire.

On Chapel Sands [electronic resource] : My Mother and Other Missing Persons / Laura Cumming

Brought to you by Penguin. **BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK** 'A modern masterpiece' Guardian Uncovering the mystery of her mother's disappearance as a child: Laura Cumming, prize-winning author and art critic, takes a closer look at her family story. In the autumn of 1929, a small child was kidnapped from a Lincolnshire beach. Five agonising days went by before she was found in a nearby village. The child remembered nothing of these events and nobody ever spoke of them at home. It was another fifty years before she even learned of the kidnap. The girl became an artist and had a daughter, art writer Laura Cumming. Cumming grew up enthralled by her mother's strange tales of life in a seaside hamlet of the 1930s, and of the secrets and lies perpetuated by a whole community. So many puzzles remained to be solved. Cumming began with a few criss-crossing lives in this fraction of English coast – the postman, the grocer, the elusive baker – but soon her search spread right out across the globe as she discovered just how many lives were affected by what happened that day on the beach – including her own. On Chapel Sands is a book of mystery and memoir. Two narratives run through it: the mother's childhood tale; and Cumming's own pursuit of the truth. Humble objects light up the story: a pie dish, a carved box, an old Vick's jar. Letters, tickets, recipe books, even the particular slant of a copperplate hand give vital clues. And pictures of all kinds, from paintings to photographs, open up like doors to the truth. Above all, Cumming discovers how to look more closely at the family album – with its curious gaps and missing persons – finding crucial answers, captured in plain sight at the click of a shutter. 'A moving, many-sided human story of great depth and tenderness, and a revelation of how art enriches life' Sunday Times (c) 2019, Laura Cumming (P) 2019 Penguin Audio

The Man in the Red Coat [electronic resource] / Barnes, Julian

Shortlisted for the Costa Book Awards 2020 The Man Booker Prize-winning author of The Sense of an Ending takes us on a rich, witty tour of Belle Epoque Paris, via the life story of the pioneering surgeon Samuel Pozzi In the summer of 1885, three Frenchmen arrived in London for a few days' shopping. One was a Prince, one was a Count, and the third was a commoner with an Italian name, who four years earlier had been the subject of one of John Singer Sargent's greatest portraits. The three men's lives play out against the backdrop of the Belle Epoque in Paris. The beautiful age of glamour and pleasure more often showed its ugly side: hysterical, narcissistic, decadent and violent, a time of rampant prejudice and blood-and-soil nativism, with more parallels to our own age than we might imagine. Our guide through this world is Samuel Pozzi, society doctor, pioneer gynaecologist and free-thinker, a rational and scientific man with a famously complicated private life. Witty, surprising an...

Mit neunzehn ist er stolz, dass seine Liebe zur verheirateten, fast dreißig Jahre älteren Susan die gesellschaftlichen Konventionen sprengt. Er ist sich ganz sicher, in Susan die Frau fürs Leben gefunden zu haben, alles andere ist nebensächlich. Erst mit zunehmendem Alter wird Paul klar, dass die Anforderungen, die die Liebe an ihn stellt, größer sind, als er es jemals für möglich gehalten hätte.

The Only Story [electronic resource] / Julian Barnes

From the Man Booker Prize-winning author of The Sense of An Ending, a novel about a young man on the cusp of adulthood and a woman who has long been there, a love story shot through with sheer beauty, profound sadness, and deep truth. Most of us have only one story to tell. I don't mean that only one thing happens to us in our lives: there are countless events, which we turn into countless stories. But there's only one that matters, only one finally worth telling. This is mine. One summer in the sixties, in a staid suburb south of London, Paul comes home from university, aged nineteen, and is urged by his mother to join the tennis club. In the mixed-doubles tournament he's partnered with Susan Macleod, a fine player who's forty-eight, confident, ironic, and married, with two nearly adult daughters. She is also a warm companion, their bond immediate. And they soon, inevitably, are lovers. Clinging to each other as though their lives depend on it, they then set up house in London to esca...

Dmitri Schostakowitsch gehört zu den renommiertesten Komponisten seines Landes, als Stalin der Aufführung einer seiner Opern beiwohnt und schon in der Pause den Saal verlässt. Fortan gilt Schostakowitsch als zum Abschuss freigegebener Mann. Er entgeht der Säuberung, doch wie lebt es sich als Künstler unter ständiger Beobachtung? In welchem Verhältnis stehen Kunst und Unterdrückung, Diktatur und Kreativität zueinander, und ist es verwerflich, wenn man sich der Macht beugt, um künstlerisch arbeiten zu können?

A life of my own / Claire Tomalin.

"Acclaimed biographer Claire Tomalin, the bestselling author of The Invisible Woman and Jane Austen, turns her critical eye to another fascinating literary life: her own. In this intimate and insightful memoir, Claire remembers moments of national literary history as well as intense personal emotion: a turbulent childhood disturbed by her parents' custody battle; her escape to Cambridge university, where she met her husband, the journalist Nick Tomalin; life on Gloucester Crescent with neighbours Alan Bennett and Mary-Kay Wilmers. Personally, tragedy struck when her husband was killed while reporting in Israel; professionally, Claire's career soared as she became literary editor of the New Statesman and the Sunday Times, working with Christopher Hitchens and Julian Barnes, before discovering her vocation as a biographer. An affair with a younger writer brought fleeting joy; the suicide of daughter brought infinite pain. Now married to playwright Michael Frayn, Claire reflects on an extraordinary life filled with love, loss and literature."--Publisher's description.

The sense of an ending / Julian Barnes.

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.

¿Qué fue de la modernidad? [electronic resource] / Gabriel Josipovici

¿Qué tienen Kafka, Virginia Woolf y Borges que no tienen Philip Roth, Irène Némirovsky ni Julian Barnes? ¿En qué momento y por qué los escritores optaron por eludir el desafío de la modernidad? ¿Cuándo relajaron su responsabilidad hacia su arte? Estas preguntas acucian a Gabriel Josipovici desde que era estudiante en Oxford. El presente libro es su respuesta. ¿Qué fue de la modernidad? es una obra polémica, que puede generar tanta contestación como interés, una indagación ilustrada y sardónica sobre estética y literatura, una llamada de atención a los artistas que han renunciado a la libertad, la herida y la alegría de la modernidad. Un libro que habla de literatura y de arte, y también del mundo y de la vida.

Keeping an Eye Open [electronic resource] : Essays on Art

"We remain incorrigibly verbal creatures who love to explain things, to form opinions, to argue.... It is a rare picture which stuns, or argues, us into silence. And if one does, it is only a short time before we want to explain and understand the very silence into which we have been plunged."Julian Barnes began writing about art with a chapter on Géricault's The Raft of the Medusa in his 1989 novel A History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters. Since then he has written a series of remarkable essays, chiefly about French artists, for a variety of journals and magazines.Gathering them for this book, he realised that he had unwittingly been retracing the story of how art made its way from Romanticism to Realism and into Modernism.
