MAN IN THE RED COAT SIGNED COPIES

'The Man in the Red Coat' is at once a fresh and original portrait of the French Belle Epoque - its heroes and villains, its writers, artists and thinkers - and a life of a man ahead of his time. Witty, surprising and deeply researched, the new book from Julian Barnes illuminates the fruitful and longstanding exchange of ideas between Britain and France. In the summer of 1885, three Frenchmen arrived in London for a few days' shopping. One was a Prince, one was a Count, and the third was a commoner with an Italian name, who four years earlier had been the subject of one of John Singer Sargent's greatest portraits.

„Omul in haina rosie” este simultan un portret proaspat si original al francezului Belle Epoque - eroii si ticalosii sai, scriitorii, artistii si ganditorii sai - si o viata de om inainte de vremea sa. Intelepta, surprinzatoare si profund cercetata, noua carte de la Julian Barnes lumineaza schimbul de idei fructuos si de lunga durata dintre Marea Britanie si Franta.
