Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize for Fiction As every schoolboy knows, you can fit the whole of England on the Isle of Wight. Grotesque, visionary tycoon Sir Jack Pitman takes the saying literally and does exactly that. He constructs on the island 'The Project', a vast heritage centre containing everything 'English', from Big Ben to Stonehenge, from Manchester United to the white cliffs of Dover. The project is monstrous, risky, and vastly successful. In fact, it gradually begins to rival 'Old' England and even threatens to supersede it... One of Barnes's finest and funniest novels, England, England calls into question the idea of replicas, truth vs fiction, reality vs art, nationhood, myth-making, and self-exploration.

Die wahre Geschichte des franzosischen Arztes Samuel Pozzi und ein einzigartiger Einblick in das Paris der Belle Epoque – eine Zeit des Wandels, der Wissenschaft und der Entdeckungen Dr. Samuel Pozzi (1846–1918) war Arzt, Pionier auf dem Gebiet der Gynakologie und Freigeist, ein intellektueller Wissenschaftler, der seiner Zeit weit voraus war: So fuhrte er Hygienevorschriften vor Operationen in Frankreich ein und ubersetzte Darwin ins Franzosische. Ebenso reiste Dr. Pozzi, um Erkenntnisse zu gewinnen, und stand fur einen engen Austausch zwischen England und dem Kontinent. Julian Barnes beleuchtet diese fruchtbaren Beziehungen und schreibt zugleich ein spannendes Pladoyer, an der Idee Europas festzuhalten. Kenntnisreich, elegant und akribisch recherchiert, beschreibt Julian Barnes das privat turbulente Leben Dr. Pozzis und erzahlt die Kulturgeschichte des Fin de Siecle und seiner Protagonistinnen und Protagonisten: Maler, Politiker, Kunstler, Schauspieler, Schriftsteller. Von Robert de Montesquiou und Emile Zola bis hin zu Sarah Bernhardt und Marcel Proust.

The stories in Julian Barnes' long-awaited third collection are attuned to rhythms and currents: of the body, of love and sex, illness and death, connections and conversations. A divorcee falls in love with a mysterious European waitress; a widower relives a favourite holiday; two writers rehearse familiar arguments; a couple bond, fall out and bond again over flowers and vegetable patches. And at a series of evenings at 'Phil & Joanna's', the topics of conversation range from the environment to the Britishness of marmalade, from toilet graffiti to smoking, as we witness the guests' lives in flux. Ranging from the domestic to the extraordinary, from the vineyards of Italy to the English seaside in winter, the stories in Pulse resonate and spark.

A special edition of Julian Barnes’s first novel with an introduction from the author and previously unseen archive material. Christopher and Toni found in each other the perfect companion for that universal adolescent pastime: smirking at the world as you find it. In between training as flaneurs and the grind of school, they cast a cynical eye over their various dislikes: parents with their lives of spotless emptiness, Third Division (North) football teams, God, commuters and girls, and the inhabitants of Metroland: the strip of suburban dormitory Christopher calls home. Longing for real life to begin, Christopher makes for Paris in time for les evenements of 1968, only to miss it all in a haze of sex, French theatre and first love. And before long he finds himself drawn inevitably back to Metroland and the very life he was trying to escape... This special edition contains unseen archive material including letters from early fans such as Philip Larkin and Dodie Smith, contemporary reviews, a deleted scene from the original manuscript as well as an introduction from the author.

Christopher and Toni found in each other the perfect companion for that universal adolescent pastime: smirking at the world as you find it.

Longing for real life to begin, we follow Christopher to Paris in time for les evenements of 1968, only to miss it all in a haze of sex, French theatre and first love, leading him, to Toni's disappointment, back to Metroland.
