History of the World in 10½ Chapters

in #undefined • 5 years ago

A History of the World in 10½ Chapters by Julian Barnes was published in 1989. Have you read it? Now recognised as a masterpiece of post-modern literature, it is a collection of short stories in different styles; they echo each other and have subtle connection points. Carpenter bugs are one of the see-through characters in the novel, it will not be an exaggeration to say so. But the book is not about beetles; it is about our sinking mankind....

These shots I took, easily could decorate its cover. Probably there is a connection here: being under impression of reading the said book, I looked around and probably thats why I took the pics...

Ствол сосны, источенный древесными пилильщиками, я сфотографировал будучи под впечалением от книги "Краткая история мира в 10 с половиной главах" классика постмодернизма Дж.Барнса. Бывает постмодернизм..... а бывает постмодернизм! Означенную книгу я всячески рекомендую, это !!!!! какое интересное (интеллектуальное) чтение. Но вы все же погуглите сюжет, вдруг вам не понравится. Жучки-древоточцы, контрабандой пролезшие на Ноев ковчег, и сам Ноев ковчег, среди ее главных действующих лиц.

Такая тут ассоциация. Моя картинка вполне могла бы иллюстрировать одну из обложек.

      I didn't hear about this book before, I'll check it this summer. post-modern is a category on which I'm easily hooked :) so I will surely check this.
