Overview: Лауреат Букеровской премии Джулиан Барнс — один из самых ярких и оригинальных прозаиков современной Британии, автор таких международных бестселлеров, как «Шум времени», «Предчувствие конца», «Артур и Джордж», «История мира в 10½ главах», «Попугай Флобера» и многих других.Своим первым опытом в жанре эссе об искусстве Джулиан Барнс называет главу нашумевшего романа-антиутопии «История мира в 10½ главах» (1989), посвященную картине Теодора Жерико «Плот „Медузы“». Именно поэтому, уже как самостоятельное произведение, в сборнике «Открой глаза» она оказывается первой из увлекательных коротких историй о художниках и их работах, приглашающих читателя проследить путь изобразительного искусства от начала XIX века до современности.В этих эссе есть все, что традиционно присуще прозе Барнса: великолепное чувство стиля, виртуозное равновесие едкой иронии и утонченного лиризма, сарказма на грани цинизма и веселого озорства. Но еще это собрание тонких, остроумных и порой неожиданных наблюдений, дарящих не только литературное удовольствие, но и богатую пищу для ума.В настоящее издание включены семь новых эссе об искусстве XIX века, которые впервые публикуются в русском переводе.
