Anotace knihy

Double Vision is Pat Barker's thought-provoking Booker Prize-winning novel of modern warfare. Provocative, intense and deeply moving, Double Vision is a powerful story of one man's quest to find redemption amidst the horror of twenty-first-century war. Returning to Afghanistan after his photographer friend is killed by a sniper, war reporter Stephen Sharkey seeks release from his nightmares in an England seemingly at peace with itself. Questioning man's inhumanity to man both abroad and at home, and whether love really can be the great redeemer, Double Vision is a searing novel of conflict in modern times. "Full of brooding tension. Barker is one of our most significant contemporary novelists". (Daily Telegraph). "Barker writes superbly. The reader is drawn on, from page to page". (Economist). "Barker has a quite extraordinary ability to combine complexity and clarity and to make both seem parts of the same whole". (Sunday Times). "The characters grab hold at the beginning and never loosen their grip. Barker holds us by the sheer beauty of her writing". (Financial Times). Pat Barker was born in 1943. Her books include the highly acclaimed Regeneration trilogy, comprising Regeneration, which has been filmed, The Eye in the Door, which won the Guardian Fiction Prize, and The Ghost Road, which won the Booker Prize. The trilogy featured the Observer's 2012 list of the ten best historical novels. She is also the author of the more recent novels Another World, Border Crossing, Double Vision, Life Class, and Toby's Room. She lives in Durham.
