| Resumen: | What were conditions really like on board Noah's Ark? Why were insects put on trial in a medieval court? How should the passengers deal with the hijackers of an educational cruise-liner? There are many ways of looking at history, but there has been nothing as intriguing as the story that unfolds in these chapters. When Julian Barnes asks questions about catastrophe, progress, art and enlightenment, the answers are often humorous and always thought-provoking. |
