This books cover is textured. The image does not do it justice, it is a very good looking book.With a mixture of intense research and vivid imagination, Julian Barnes brings tolife not just this long-forgotten case, but the inner workings of these two very different men. This is a novel in which the events of a hundred years ago constantly set off contemporary echoes, a novel aboutlow crime and high spirituality, guilt and innocence, identity, nationality and race.Most of all it is a profound and moving meditation on the fateful differences between what we believe, what we knowand what we can prove. Julian Barnes has long been recognised as one of Britain's most remarkable writers.While those already familiar with his work will enjoy its originality, its wit, its wisdom about the human condition, Arthur & George will surely find him an entirely new audience.
