Лауреат Букеровской премии Джулиан Барнс – один из самых ярких и оригинальных прозаиков современной Британии, автор таких международных бестселлеров, как «Англия, Англия», «Попугай Флобера», «История мира в 10/2 главах», «Любовь и так далее», «Метроленд», и многих других. Возможно, основной его талант – умение легко и естественно играть в своих произведениях стилями и направлениями. Тонкая стилизация и едкая ирония, утонченный лиризм и доходящий до цинизма сарказм, агрессивная жесткость и веселое озорство – Барнсу подвластно все это и многое другое. В книге «Нечего бояться» он размышляет о страхе смерти и о том, что для многих предопределяет отношение к смерти, – о вере. Как всегда, размышления Барнса охватывают широкий культурный контекст, в котором истории из жизни великих, но ушедших – Монтеня и Флобера, Стендаля и братьев Гонкур, Шостаковича и Россини – перемежаются с автобиографическими наблюдениями.

"I don’t believe in God, but I miss him." So begins Julian Barnes’s brilliant new book that is, among many things, a family memoir, an exchange with his brother (a philosopher), a meditation on mortality and the fear of death, a celebration of art, an argument with and about God, and a homage to the writer Jules Renard. Barnes also draws poignant portraits of the last days of his parents, recalled with great detail, affection and exasperation. Other examples he takes up include writers, "most of them dead and quite a few of them French," as well as some composers, for good measure. The grace with which Barnes weaves together all of these threads makes the experience of reading the book nothing less than exhilarating. Although he cautions us that "this is not my autobiography," the book nonetheless reveals much about Barnes the man and the novelist: how he thinks and how he writes and how he lives. At once deadly serious and dazzlingly playful, Nothing to Be Frightened Of is a wise, funny and constantly surprising tour of the human condition.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER A NEW YORK TIMES BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR A memoir on mortality as only Julian Barnes can write it, one that touches on faith and science and family as well as a rich array of exemplary figures who over the centuries have confronted the same questions he now poses about the most basic fact of life: its inevitable extinction. If the fear of death is “the most rational thing in the world,” how does one contend with it? An atheist at twenty and an agnostic at sixty, Barnes looks into the various arguments for, against, and with God, and at his own bloodline, which has become, following his parents’ death, another realm of mystery. Deadly serious, masterfully playful, and surprisingly hilarious, Nothing to Be Frightened Of is a riveting display of how this supremely gifted writer goes about his business and a highly personal tour of the human condition and what might follow the final diagnosis.
