Su nombre es sinónimo de poder, fiereza y triunfo. Fue un militar y político de la antigua Roma, cuya agitada carrera política e incomparable habilidad guerrera lo consagraría como un gran conquistador que extendió los dominios de Roma por toda Europa. Descubra los episodios más importantes de la apasionante vida de Julio César, el político, escritor, general y dictador, una de las figuras más trascendentales de la historia universal.

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. The three men's lives play out against the backdrop of the Belle Epoque in Paris. The beautiful age of glamour and pleasure more often showed its ugly side: hysterical, narcissistic, decadent and violent, a time of rampant prejudice and blood-and-soil nativism, with more parallels to our own age than we might imagine.

In this engaging and erudite essay, critically acclaimed writer Julian Barnes explores what is involved when we change our minds: about words, about politics, about books; about memories, age and time.

Julian Barnes wird im Januar 2026 achtzig Jahre alt. Er weiß, dass die längste Zeit seines Lebens hinter ihm liegt, und er möchte die Kontrolle darüber behalten, wie man auf dieses Leben blicken wird. Als Julian Barnes erfährt, dass er eine Krankheit hat, die für ihn tödlich sein kann, aber nicht sein muss, heißt das für ihn, die Dinge zu ordnen. Was zählt im Leben, welche Lebensphase war wichtig, oder trügt die Erinnerung?

Julian Barnes' new book is, among many things, a family memoir, an exchange with his brother (a philosopher), a meditation on morality and the fear of death, a celebration of art, an argument with and about God, and homage to the French writer Jules Renard. Though he warns us that 'this is not my autobiography', the result is a tour of the mind of one of our most brilliant writers.

'You put together two things that have not been put together before. And the world is changed...' Julian Barnes's new book is about ballooning, photography, love and grief; about putting two things, and two people, together, and about tearing them apart. One of the judges who awarded him the 2011 Man Booker Prize described him as 'an unparalleled magus of the heart'. This book confirms that opinion.

"Det ér ikke bare sin sag at få et barn alene! Det er ikke nemt og oftest ej heller nogens første prioritet, for det siger sig selv, at det er en kæmpe glæde at være to om at dele lykken ved at sætte et barn i verden, to om at elske det barn, to om at dele ansvar og bekymringer om barnet, økonomi og meget, meget mere. Alligevel skulle jeg mene, at det må være det hele værd!" "Solomor" fortæller historien om Anne Nim Pedersens erfaringer med en familieform, der vinder fremgang i disse år.

Julian Barnes lernte Dr. Samuel Pozzi (1846-1918) kennen, als er das Porträt Mann im roten Rock von John Sargent Singer betrachtete. Es zeigt den Arztpionier, Freigeist und intellektuellen Wissenschaftler, der seiner Zeit weit voraus war. Kenntnisreich und elegant beschreibt Julian Barnes das schillernde Leben Dr. Pozzis und entwirft das Bild einer Ära, die wir heute Belle Epoque nennen und die neben Schönheit und Glamour auch ihre hässlichen Seiten hatte.

Investigative journalist Sam Irvin's tell-all behind the making of FRANKENSTEIN: THE TRUE STORY (Universal / NBC-TV, 2-part miniseries, 1973) has many facets. It is an eye-opening exposé on the movie industry of the early 1970s with an emphasis on Universal Pictures and the horror genre. But the chronicle also reveals a hidden agenda – fueled by the astonishing courage of a revolutionary group of LGBTQ+ artists spearheaded by producer Hunt Stromberg Jr. and his screenwriters Christopher Isherwood (THE BERLIN STORIES – the basis for CABARET) and his lover, artist Don Bachardy.

A story of love and grief. ‘I became a widower and a father on the same day’ says Joseph Luzzi. His book tells how Dante’s ‘The Divine Comedy’ helped him to endure his grief, raise their infant daughter, and rediscover love. Where do we turn when we lose everything? In 2007, Joseph...
