朱利安·巴恩斯(Julian Barnes)
出生于1946年,当代英国文坛三巨头之一。布克奖得主,被誉为“用智慧征服全欧洲的文学鬼才”。包揽英国、法国、奥地利、丹麦、意大利等国文学奖项17项,荣誉勋章5枚,获奖记录横贯欧洲各国!
《亚瑟与乔治》是除布克奖获奖作品《终结的感觉》外,巴恩斯最接近拿到布克奖的小说。2005年布克奖竞争异常激烈,凭借《亚瑟与乔治》,巴恩斯获得超过诺贝尔奖得主J. M. 库切和石黑一雄的票选。二选一终选环节,评委争执不下,甚至为了《亚瑟与乔治》延后了颁奖时间。尽管与布克奖失之交臂,《亚瑟与乔治》却得到了“布克奖无冕之王”的美誉。
巴恩斯以对历史和现实的深入思考著称,这在《亚瑟与乔治》中表现得尤为明显:“我看到柯南·道尔带着他的故事向我走来……这一次,我把故事带到了维多利亚时代的风暴中心,在那里,一个庞大的帝国正费力地迈向新的世纪。”
布克奖评委盖比·伍德称赞道:“这种受困于庸常生活的人生悲剧,如此感人,如此让角色深陷其中,以至于他们只能盲目地、片面地面对这种悲剧。而这,正是真正大师级小说的标志。”
From one of England’s most esteemed novelists, an utter astonishment that captures an era through one life celebrated internationally and another entirely forgotten.
In the vast expanse of late-Victorian Britain, two boys come to life:George, the son of a Midlands vicar, and Arthur, in shabby genteel Edinburgh, both of them feeling at once near to and impossibly distant from the beating heart of Empire. One falls prey to a series of pranks en route to a legal vocation, while the other studies medicine before discovering a different calling entirely, and it is years before their destinies are entwined in a mesmerizing alliance. We follow each through outrageous accusation and unrivaled success, through faith and perseverance and dogged self-recrimination, whether in the dock awaiting complete disgrace or at the height of fame while desperately in love with a woman not his wife, and gradually realize that George is half-Indian and that Arthur becomes the creator of the world’s most famous detective. Ranging from London clubs to teeming prisons, from a lost century to the modern age, this novel is a panoramic revelation of things we thought we knew or else had no clue of, as well as a gripping exploration of what goals drive us toward whatever lies in wait–an experience resounding with issues, no less relevant today, of crime and spirituality; of identity and nationality; of what we think, what we believe and what we can prove.
Intriguing, relentless and, most of all, moving, Arthur & George richly extends the reach and achievement of a novelist described by the Philadelphia Inquirer as “a dazzling mind in mercurial flight.”
