Description
Julian Barnes' exclusive selection from the classic French work, newly translated by Theo Cuffe
Well over 100 years later, his writing is still fresh because it retains the tang of curiosity... He writes with such grace, and with such attention, that before long you begin to feel his Journals are not just writings about life, but life itself.
