Book Description
Arthur & George is a historical novel inspired by real events, interweaving the lives of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and George Edalji, a young solicitor wrongfully convicted of a series of crimes in early 20th-century England. As their paths converge, the novel examines justice, prejudice, rationality, and the limits of truth through a meticulous and humane reconstruction of history.

About Author

Julian Barnes is a British novelist, essayist, and critic widely regarded as one of the leading literary voices of his generation. Born in Leicester, England, in 1946, he studied Modern Languages at Magdalen College, Oxford, and worked as a journalist and literary editor before focusing on fiction.

Barnes is known for his intellectually rich and stylistically elegant novels, which often explore memory, love, truth, and the unreliability of narrative. His major works include Flaubert’s Parrot, Arthur & George, and The Sense of an Ending, which won the Man Booker Prize in 2011. Alongside his fiction, Barnes has written essays, criticism, and short stories, earning acclaim for his wit, philosophical depth, and precise prose.
