Editorial Reviews:
Synopsis:
The author of Talking It Over trains his laser-bright intelligence and phosphorescent prose on the ambiguities raised by the collapse of Communism in Eastern Europe. "His literary energy and daring are nearly unparalleled among contemporary English novelists."--New Republic.
Review:
"It is a sly and skillfully managed plot and Mr. Barnes's novel is memorable not least for its cameos of the dreary sadness of life as it is lived by so many ordinary people."
Economist, 11/28/1992
Review:"In some ways, 'The Porcupine' brings to mind the political literature of fifty years ago: Andre Malraux, George Orwell and particularly the Arthur Koestler of 'Darkness at Noon..."
Robert Stone, New York Times Book Review, 12/13/1992

Das Stachelschwein, englische Ausgabe&The Porcupine (ISBN: 9780679744825) Barnes, Julian Quantity Available: 2
Book Description: New York Vintage, 1993. Kartoniert/Broschiert. Book Condition: Neu. 202 mm x 132 mm x 14 mm. - In his latest novel, Julian Barnes, author of Talking It Over and A History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters, trains his laser-bright prose on the collapse of Communism in Eastern Europe. Stoyo Petkanov, the deposed Party leader, is placed on trial for crimes that range from corruption to political murder. Petkanov's guilt -- and the righteousness of his opponents -- would seem to be self-evident. But, as brilliantly imagined by Barnes, the trial of this cunning and unrepentant dictator illuminates the shadowy frontier between the rusted myths of the Communist past and a capitalist future in which everything is up for grabs.< 138 pp. Englisch.

Book Description: New York Vintage. Taschenbuch. Book Condition: Neu. 20,5 cm. - Er steht vor den Schranken des Gerichts und beteuert, keine Verbrechen begangen, allenfalls Fehler gemacht zu haben. Eben noch war Stojo Perkanow einer der Ostblock-Zaren, nun soll sich der alte Mann rechtfertigen . Das Vorbild für Stojo Perkanow ist der ehemalige bulgarische Staatschef Todor Schiwkow. Der Brite hat den Prozeß gegen ihn verfolgt und in Bulgarien recherchiert . Wie Barnes den greisen Angeklagten in die Schlacht gegen den frisch ernannten Generalstaatsanwalt schickt und munitioniert, das hat Tempo und Temperament. Lehrreich ist es obendrein - bei einem Roman keine Schande. (Der Spiegel) 138 pp. Englisch.
