Arthur and George

Laureate of the Buker Prize Julian Barnes is one of the most striking and original prose writers of modern Britain, the author of such international bestsellers as “noise of time”, “one story”, “foreboding of the end”, “England, England”, “Parrot of Flobert”, “Love And so on ”,“ History of the world in 10½ chapters ”and many others. Perhaps his main talent is the ability to easily and naturally play in his works with styles and directions. Thin stylization and caustic irony, sophisticated lyricism and sarcasm that reach cynicism, aggressive rigidity and fun mischief - Barns is subject to all this and much more.
In the novel Arthur and George, who entered, like many other Barnes’s books, in the short list of the Buker Prize-the investigation is led by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle with his own person. Sherlock Holmes"s literary father decides to use the deductive method in the investigation of the most scandalous case of Late -North -Victorian England - cases of the mysterious murder of cattle on farms near Birmingham. His goal is to prove that the provincial lawyer George Edalji accused of this crime is innocent. So how effective are the methods of Sherlock Holmes in reality?
In 2015, the BBC television channel was released the film adaptation of the same name (director Stewart Orm, in roles Martin Klines, Archer Ali, Charles Edwards, Hatti Morahen, Emma Fielding)
