The 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”, “foreboding of the end”, “England, England”, “Parrot of Flaubert”, “Love and so on”, Metrolend 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 comes to cynicism, aggressive rigidity and fun mischief - Barns is subject to all this and much more. In the novel “History of the World in 10½ chapters”, he brings the skill of reincarnation to the apogei: he speaks the voice of an insect, “a hare” of the novo ark, and an astronaut who goes to look for this ark on Mount Ararat, he imitates the judicial chronicle of the Middle Ages and meticulously reproduces the true background The famous canvas of Jeriko “Medusa Raft”, and shows the horror of an instant transition from a prosperous life to a situation where nothing is done - will only be worse
