A History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters by Julian Barnes

A History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters tells a series of apparently unconnected stories ranging from a woodworm's eye view of the journey on Noah's Ark to an astronaut's quest for its final resting place.

Full of pastiche and learned disquisition, heart-stopping documentary, and heart-lifting revelation, these stories are in fact all linked by a complex weave of inquiry into history itself-into love, myth, and fabulation. It's about everything that matters, told with brilliant imagination, intelligence, and humor.

JULIAN BARNES is the author of twenty-one previous books, for which he has received the Man Booker Prize, the Somerset Maugham Award, the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize, the David Cohen Prize for Literature, and the E. M. Forster Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters; the French Prix Medicis and Prix Femina; the Austrian State Prize for European Literature; and in 2004 he was named Commandeur de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture. His work has been translated into more than thirty languages. He lives in London.
