Booker Prize winner Julian Barnes is one of Britain's most brilliant and original prose writers, author of such international bestsellers as England, England, Flaubert's Parrot, A History of the World in 10½ Chapters, Love, etc., Noise 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 the ability to easily and naturally play styles and trends in his works. Subtle stylization and caustic irony, refined lyricism and sarcasm, harshness and hilarious mischief - Barnes is subject to all this and much more. In the book Nothing to Fear, he reflects on the fear of death and what determines the attitude towards death for many - about faith. As always, Barnes' 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.
