description: This is one of the defining novels of English writer Julian Barnes. An entertaining mélange of stories, starting with a contemporary account of the launch of Noah s Ark, takes us into unexpected areas of human foibles, activities and tendencies. An unabridged recording of one of the most popular literary works of the past two decades by an author who consistently wears his erudition lightly. Underpins Naxos AudioBooks commitment to literary novels in unabridged form. Read by Alex Jennings whose work on audiobook, in the theatre, and on TV and film demonstrates intelligent performance at its best.
