The feeling of ending

The Sense of an Ending

【Editor's Recommendation】
This is the representative work of Julian Barnes, a giant of contemporary British literature, and a highly anticipated winner of the Booker Prize.
Our lives may not be our own lives, but merely the stories we tell about our lives - when memory deceives you, who can interpret your life?
Jiang Fangzhuo, Miao Wei, and Liang Hong's personal reading lists. Highly recommended on Douban, a must-read for thousands.
Barnes titled his novel "The Sense of an Ending," which on the surface seems to be his ordinary chatter, but he is exploring the gray and unclear areas, which are related to novels and history, as well as everyone's memory.
Miao Wei specially invited renowned graphic designer Ma Shirui to create the new "Barnes Series." As pieces of paper are torn apart one by one, the hidden memories and truths gradually become clear, yet life itself has already been completely transformed.
【Celebrity reviews and recommendations】
The Sense of an Ending is a classic of English literature, exquisitely written, ingeniously conceived, and revealing new depths with each reading. This is a book for the twenty-first century.
- Booker Prize Judges Don’t be fooled by the short length of this novel; its mystery lies in the fact that you will remember it forever, just like the deepest ancient memory.
——Anita Bruckner [Introduction]
We think we are maturing, but in fact we are just being safe.
Tony, a middle-aged man, is content with his life. He's had a career, been married, maintained good relationships with his ex-wife and daughter, and never intended to harm anyone. However, a will from an ex-girlfriend's mother shatters everything, forcing Tony to rediscover the mysteries of his youth and cast doubt on memories he once believed in.
He could sense an ending coming, but the story was completely different.
