A compact masterpiece dedicated to the Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich: Julian Barnes’s first novel since his best-selling, Man Booker Prize–winning The Sense of an Ending.
In 1936, Shostakovich, just thirty, fears for his livelihood and his life. Stalin, hitherto a distant figure, has taken a sudden interest in his work and denounced his latest opera. Now, certain he will be exiled to Siberia (or, more likely, executed on the spot), Shostakovich reflects on his predicament, his personal history, his parents, various women and wives, his children—and all who are still alive themselves hang in the balance of his fate. And though a stroke of luck prevents him from becoming yet another casualty of the Great Terror, for decades to come he will be held fast under the thumb of despotism: made to represent Soviet values at a cultural conference in New York City, forced into joining the Party and compelled, constantly, to weigh appeasing those in power against the integrity of his music. Barnes elegantly guides us through the trajectory of Shostakovich’s career, at the same time illuminating the tumultuous evolution of the Soviet Union. The result is both a stunning portrait of a relentlessly fascinating man and a brilliant exploration of the meaning of art and its place in society.
JULIAN BARNES is the author of twenty previous books including, most recently, Keeping an Eye Open: Essays on Art. 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; in France, the Prix Médicis and the Prix Femina; in Austria, the State Prize for European Literature. 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 forty languages. He lives in London.

评分一声叹息!欣赏肖斯塔科维奇的人需要有一个不肤浅的灵魂。
最近北京的天又渐渐地蓝了起来。前几年,相比小时的记忆,北京的天色显得十分单调。不见了土黄的沙尘暴和湛蓝的秋高气爽、黎明时的鱼肚白或是晴夜里的深湛星空。取而代之的是一年四季的灰色。神似艾略特诗中伦敦的模样,沉重的灰暗空气像是有着生命,用身体挤压着窗扇,也挤压...
评分谈到英国小说家朱利安·巴恩斯,普通读者和尖刻的评论家首先会想到的一个词是:聪明。这不仅仅指巴恩斯总能带给人新鲜的感觉(特别是在小说内容趋向同质化的今天),而且还在于巴恩斯似乎总能找到最贴切的叙述方式,更不用提语言的精炼和美感,以及层出不穷的金句。从《福楼拜...
评分一本幽深地阐释了权力与艺术的关系的书。主人公兼具强大与懦弱。作者试图揭示权力之下一种更真实更日常的状态,那就是当懦夫,通过与权力当局的部分妥协,换取生活的进行、家人朋友的安全。这个过程并不比当英雄容易,因为自我被一块块分裂,内心反复被自己质问。 试图将英雄与...
