検索キーワード： "Julian Barnes" 選集・短編小説

This is one of the defining novels of English writer Julian Barnes. An entertaining melange of stories starting with a contemporary account of the launch of Noah's Ark takes us into unexpected areas of human foibles, activities, and tendencies.

Жизнь человека как череда стрижек. Супружеская измена. Классическая русская литература. Былая любовь. Рассказы в сборнике "Лимонный стол" повествуют о разном, но всех их объединяет, во-первых, тема старения и перемен, приходящих с возрастом, а во-вторых, блистательный, сдержанный стиль Джулиана Барнса: современного классика английской литературы. Его юмор никогда не бывает громким — это изящный нюанс, украшающий повествование, а трагедия в его исполнении неизбежно имеет оттенок сатиры.

No one has a better perspective on life on both sides of the channel than Julian Barnes. In these exquisitely crafted stories spanning several centuries, he takes as his universal theme the British in France: from the last days of a reclusive English composer, the beef consuming 'navvies' labouring on the Paris-Rouen railway to a lonely woman mourning the death of her brother on the battlefields of the Somme.

The brilliant new collection of short stories from Man Booker Prize-winning author Julian Barnes. 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. Each character is bent to a pulse, propelled on by success and loss, by new beginnings and endings.

In a collection that is wise, funny, clever and moving, Julian Barnes has created characters whose passions and longings are made all the stronger by the knowledge that, for them, time is almost at an end.
