A History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters by Julian Barnes (English) Paperback B

Description: A History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters by Julian Barnes Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description An eccentiric, playfully skewed, surprisingly comprehensive chronicle of life on planet Earth. A novel whose threads of coincidence and hidden connection are woven into a narrative tapestry brilliant with wit, intelligence, and emotion. Publisher Description A "playful, witty, and entertaining" book (The New York Times Book Review) that offers an exhilarating vision of the world, starting with the voyage of Noahs ark and ending with a sneak preview of heaven—from the bestselling, Booker Prize-winning author of The Sense of an Ending. Its a hilariously revisionist account of Noahs ark, narrated by a passenger who doesnt appear in Genesis. Its a sneak preview of heaven. It encompasses the stories of a cruise ship hijacked by terrorists and of woodworms tried for blasphemy in sixteenth-century France. It explores the relationship of fact to fabulation and the antagonism between history and love. In short, A History of the World in 10½ Chapters is a grandly ambitious and inventive work of fiction, in the traditions of Joyce and Calvino, from the author of the widely acclaimed Flauberts Parrot.
