The Sense of an Ending

Hodnocení knihy

Více o knize

A novel with stunning psychological and emotional depth and sophistication and so compelling that it begs to be read in a single sitting. <i>The Sense of an Ending</i> is a brilliant new chapter in Julian Barne's oevre. This intense new novel follows a middle-aged man as he contends with a past he never much thought about--until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance, one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. Tony Webster thought he'd left all this behind as he built a life for himself, and by now his marriage and family and career have fallen into an amicable divorce and retirement. But he is then presented with a mysterious legacy that obliges him to reconsider a variety of things he thought he'd understood all along, and to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.

Přemýšlivá, každý se narodíme a teprve žitím si uvědomujeme, jak krátký čas je nám dán. Mozek víc pracuje, než když přejímá jen filmové obrazy. Ale např. Avatara bych si asi nedokázala sama vymyslet. Asi bychom si měli vyčlenit víc času na čtení knih. A žádnou nezničit pro to, že někomu její obsah nevyhovuje. Takže více zdrojů a diskuzí. Zdraví a rozvahu všem dobrým človíčkům.
