Levels of Life

Product Description<br/><br/><br/>[Library Edition Audiobook CD in sturdy Vinyl case.]<br/><br/> Fifteen months after the publication of his phenomenally successful novel<br/>The Sense of an Ending, Julian Barnes now gives us his most powerfully moving book yet, beginning in the nineteenth century and leading seamlessly into an entirely personal account of loss -- making<br/>Levels of Life an immediate classic on the subject of grief.<br/><br/> A meditation on life itself, the story is about ballooning, photography, love, and grief. It's about putting two things -- and two people -- together and then tearing them apart. One of the judges who awarded him the 2011 Man Booker Prize described him as ''an unparalleled magus of the heart.'' Spare, luminous, and supremely crafted,<br/>Levels of Life confirms that opinion.<br/><br/><br/>About the Author<br/><br/><br/>JULIAN BARNES was born in Leicester and moved to London in 1946.
