Es war eine bewegte Zeit. Damals, in den 60ern. Noch am Rand zum Erwachsenenleben, als sie jede freie Minute miteinander verbrachten und sich versprachen, sich auch später nicht aus den Augen zu verlieren. Colin, Alex und Tony. Das war auch die Zeit als Adrian zu ihrem Freundeskreis dazu kam. Adrian Finn, ein großer, intelligent... Es war eine bewegte Zeit. Damals, in den 60ern. Noch am Rand zum Erwachsenenleben, als sie jede freie Minute miteinander verbrachten und sich versprachen, sich auch später nicht aus den Augen zu verlieren. Colin, Alex und Tony. Das war auch die Zeit als Adrian zu ihrem Freundeskreis dazu kam. Adrian Finn, ein großer, intelligenter, in sich gekehrter Junge. Und er war zweifellos intelligenter als der Rest von ihnen. Er hatte eine eigene Meinung. An das, ihr Versprechen und einiges mehr erinnert sich Tony, als er einen aufwühlenden Brief erhält und realisiert wie fragil seine eigenen, weichgeschliffenen Erinnerungen sind. "The Sense of an Ending" is the story of one man coming to terms with the mutable past. He's certainly never tried to hurt anybody. Memory, though, is imperfect. It can always throw up surprises, as a lawyer's letter is about to prove. ......And The Man Booker Prize goes to Julian Barnes......one of the world's most distinguished writers. Great!

Beschreibung
'A masterpiece... I would urge you to read - and re-read ' Daily Telegraph
**Winner of the Man Booker Prize for Fiction 2011**
Tony Webster and his clique first met Adrian Finn at school. Sex-hungry and book-hungry, they would navigate the girl-less sixth form together, trading in affectations, in-jokes, rumour and wit. Maybe Adrian was a little more serious than the others, certainly more intelligent, but they all swore to stay friends for life.
Now Tony is retired. He's had a career and a single marriage, a calm divorce. He's certainly never tried to hurt anybody. Memory, though, is imperfect. It can always throw up surprises, as a lawyer's letter is about to prove.
Now a major film
"A precise, poignant portrait of the costs and benefits of time passing, of friendship, of love. A small masterpiece"
Julian Barnes is the author of thirteen novels, including The Sense of an Ending, which won the 2011 Man Booker Prize for Fiction, and Sunday Times bestsellers The Noise of Time and The Only Story. He has also written three books of short stories, four collections of essays and three books of non-fiction, including the Sunday Times number one bestseller Levels of Life and The Man in the Red Coat, which was shortlisted for the 2019 Duff Cooper Prize. In 2017 he was awarded the Légion d'honneur.
"A masterpiece... I would urge you to read - and re-read - The Sense of an Ending" Daily Telegraph "Mesmerising... the concluding scenes grip like a thriller - a whodunit of memory and morality" Independent "A very fine book, skilfully plotted, boldly conceived... Barnes has achieved...something of universal importance" -- Justin Cartwright Observer "A precise, poignant portrait of the costs and benefits of time passing, of friendship, of love. A small masterpiece" -- Erica Wagner The Times "A wonderful story that is all too human and all so real" Irish Times
