A History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters读书介绍

Beginning with an unlikely stowaway's account of life on board Noah's Ark, "A History of the World in 10 Chapters" presents a surprising, subversive, fictional history of earth told from several kaleidoscopic perspectives. Noah disembarks from his ark but he and his Voyage are not forgotten: they are revisited in on other centuries and other climes - by a Victorian spinster mourning her father, by an American astronaut on an obsessive personal mission. We journey to the Titanic, to the Amazon, to the raft of the Medusa, and to an ecclesiastical court in medieval France where a bizarre case is about to begin...This is no ordinary history, but something stranger, a challenge and a delight for the reader's imagination. Ambitious yet accessible, witty and playfully serious, this is the work of a brilliant novelist.

朱利安·巴恩斯(1946- )　英国当代最具影响力的作家之一。生于英格兰，毕业于牛津大学，曾参与《牛津英语词典》的编纂工作，做过多年的文学编辑和评论家。他著有十余部长篇小说，其中《福楼拜的鹦鹉》最为脍灸人口，奠定了他在英国文坛的地位。

他的创作以对历史、真实、真理和爱情的思考著称，这在《10 1/2章世界史》中表现得尤为明显。他尝试多种实验方法，打破传统的小说创作模式。他自己的小说也部部特色鲜明，风格绝不雷同。

他曾获毛姆奖、杰弗里·费伯纪念奖、E.M.福斯特奖，并三获布克奖提名(1984年《福楼拜的鹦鹉》、1998年《英格兰，英格兰》、2005年《亚瑟与乔治》)。
