Description

From the Man Booker Prize-winning author of The Sense of an Ending - a rich, witty, revelatory tour of Belle Epoque Paris, via the remarkable life story of the pioneering surgeon, Samuel Pozzi.

In the summer of 1885, three Frenchmen arrived in London for a few days' intellectual shopping: a prince, a count, and a commoner with an Italian name. In time, each of these men would achieve a certain level of renown, but who were they then and what was the significance of their sojourn to England? Answering these questions, Julian Barnes unfurls the stories of their lives which play out against the backdrop of the Belle Epoque in Paris. Our guide through this world is Samuel Pozzi, the society doctor, free-thinker, and man of science with a famously complicated private life who was the subject of one of John Singer Sargent's greatest portraits. In this vivid tapestry of people (Henry James, Sarah Bernhardt, Oscar Wilde, Proust, James Whistler, among many others), place, and time, we see not merely an epoch of glamour and pleasure, but, surprisingly, one of violence, prejudice, and nativism - with more parallels to our own age than we might imagine.

The Man in the Red Coat is, at once, a fresh portrait of the Belle Epoque; an illuminating look at the longstanding exchange of ideas between Britain and France; and a life of a man who lived passionately in the moment but whose ideas and achievements were far ahead of his time.

incompetent readee

A reader incapable of pronouncing a sing French word correctly should not undertake a book littered with French names and phrases. it's painful to to hear.

Changing narrators mid stream

I purchased the Recorded Books, Inc. version of "The Man in the Red Coat" read by Russell Bentley. The book itself is excellent. The audio version I bought was sub par. The narrator mispronounced many French and German names. I wrote to Recorded Books, Inc. and was told "According to our studios, there was version of The Man in the Red Coat read by Russell Bentley that was removed from the site. Another version is now available by a different reader, Saul Reichlin. This new version is available through Audible.com and you can also check your local library. I hope that this new recording is more enjoyable for you. " This is terrible customer service, hardly the “we stand behind our product” answer one would expect from a company. Unbelievable. What they are saying is too bad for me that I bought the defective version. Should I wish satisfaction I should just go ahead and pay once more for the new one now on the market since they woke up to the problem with the original. Just about to push the send when I see "Audible posts reviews at its discretion." I bet they won't post this. BUT if they are reading this they should get in touch with me about replacing that "lemon" version of the book they sold me.
