Booker Prize winner Julian Barnes is one of the most brilliant and original novelists of modern Britain, author of such international bestsellers as England, England, Flaubert's Parrot, A History of the World in 10½ Chapters, Love and So on, The Noise of Time (a novel about Shostakovich, published in 2016, when the whole world celebrates the 110th anniversary of the great Russian composer) and many others. Perhaps his main talent is his ability to play easily and naturally with styles and directions in his works. Subtle stylization and caustic irony, subtle lyricism and sarcasm, toughness and fun mischief - Barnes can do all this and much more. In "Nothing to Fear," he reflects on the fear of death and what for many predetermines the attitude to death - about faith. As always, Barnes's reflections cover a broad cultural context in which stories from the lives of the great but departed - Montaigne and Flaubert, Stendhal and the Goncourt brothers, Shostakovich and Rossini - are interspersed with autobiographical observations.
