Ayrıntı Yayınları Nothing to be afraid

Product description

"there is nothing to be afraid of," which begins with an extremely striking statement like, 'i don't believe in god, but i miss him,' is a book of essays written by julian barnes on themes such as death, mortality, god, and the place of art in the face of death. even though it's not entirely autobiographical, it's a prominent essay due to the breadth of the memories it contains. in other words, it's a book of essays that can be evaluated within the framework of the ""sudden"" genre." Julian barnes has previously explored themes of age and death in many of his works, especially in his storybook titled lemon table. However, this time, the subject of the “life-and-death” is rather moved to a much wider field of essay, which he has chosen with mastery from literature and music, and also from science and the world of types, with examples.

"starting with the famous french writer jules renard, the intriguing testimonies of literature such as montaigne, stendhal, daudet, somerset maugham, arthur koestler, or musicians such as ravel, rahmaninov, sostakovich, prokofiev and rossini are included, all of us will inevitably encounter this inevitable and ""non-scary"" human condition in all its dimensions." Another notable feature of the text is the intriguing dialogue between julian barnes and his philosophical elder brother jonathan barnes, which is interspersed with philosophical reflections throughout the entire essay. This dialogue can also be interpreted as a never-ending attraction between julian barnes and his mother, who did not quite understand philosophy and literature, in a way. In fact, the intriguing and dynamic element that makes the book's subject matter appear gloomy is reflected in all the lines with both pleasure and a questioning irony.

In a conversation with himself, julian barnes describes the content of 'there is nothing to be afraid of' in the simplest terms with words: 'this is a practice of examining myself as a case and answering a question: what does it mean to not believe anything at this point in time, but on the other hand, not to reach for the thought that we will die one day?' .
