In 'Elizabeth Finch', Julian Barnes introduces us to Neil, a middle-aged man whose life has been marked by his former teacher, Elizabeth Finch. Through her Culture and Civilization classes, Elizabeth awakened in Neil an admiration for the classical world and a critical view of the present. After her death, Neil embarks on a double task: to write an essay on Julian the Apostate, a key figure in Elizabeth's life, and to investigate the enigmatic biography of his teacher through her notebooks and the testimony of her brother. This novel, which is both a philosophical speculation and a biographical reconstruction, explores themes such as admiration, love, history, culture and the meaning of life.
Julian Patrick Barnes is an English essayist, novelist and short story writer.
