“파국에 이른 사랑은 기억으로 바뀐다” 때론 격렬하게, 때론 냉철하게 사랑의 시작과 끝을 되짚는 깊고 서늘한 통찰 『예감은 틀리지 않는다』로 맨부커상을 수상한 영국 문학의 제왕 줄리언 반스의 신작 장편소설. 매번 자신의 작품을 뛰어넘으며, 최신작으로 “힘의 절정에 선 소설가”라는 극찬을 받은 줄리언 반스의 『연애의 기억』은 막 어른이 되려 하는 19세 청년과 오래전부터 어른이어야 했던 48세 중년의 여인, 그들이 나눈 순수하고도 아름다운, 깊은 슬픔과 심오한 진실을 관통하는 사랑 이야기를 담은 소설이다. 소설은 이제 일흔 즈음에 접어든 남자가 50여 년 전 예기치 않게 자신의 첫사랑과 맞닥뜨린 일을 돌이키며 시작한다. “제정신이 아닐 정도의 자신감”을 지닌 남자와 “다 닳아버린 세대”를 지나고 있는 여자, “선택할” 수도 “제어할” 수도 없는 감정이 두 사람을 몰아붙이던 순간이 눈앞에 생생하게 펼쳐진다.

One of the Best Books of the Year: San Francisco Chronicle 1936: Dmitri Shostakovich, just thirty years old, reckons with the first of three conversations with power that will irrevocably shape his life. Stalin, hitherto a distant figure, has suddenly denounced the young composer’s latest opera. Certain he will be exiled to Siberia (or, more likely, shot dead on the spot), Shostakovich reflects on his predicament, his personal history, his parents, his daughter?all of those hanging in the balance of his fate. And though a stroke of luck prevents him from becoming yet another casualty of the Great Terror, he will twice more be swept up by the forces of despotism: coerced into praising the Soviet state at a cultural conference in New York in 1948, and finally bullied into joining the Party in 1960. All the while, he is compelled to constantly weigh the specter of power against the integrity of his music. An extraordinary portrait of a relentlessly fascinating man, The Noise of Time is a stunning meditation on the meaning of art and its place in society.

Winner of the Man Booker Prize for Fiction in 2011 and a Sunday Times bestseller - this is a brilliant novel from a writer at the very height of his powers Winner of the Man Booker Prize for Fiction in 2011 Tony Webster and his clique first met Adrian Finn at school. Sex-hungry and book-hungry, they would navigate the girl-less sixth form together, trading in affectations, in-jokes, rumour and wit. Maybe Adrian was a little more serious than the others, certainly more intelligent, but they all swore to stay friends for life. Now Tony is retired. He's had a career and a single marriage, a calm divorce. He's certainly never tried to hurt anybody. Memory, though, is imperfect. It can always throw up surprises, as a lawyer's letter is about to prove.
