‘You put two things that have not been put together before. And the world is changed …’ Julian Barnes’s searing LEVELS OF LIFE, is both a celebration of the love he shared with his wife Pat Kavanagh and an angry roar of grief and sorrow at her death. The first third of his book tells the story of two seemingly incompatible individuals, Colonel Fred Burnaby of the Royal Horse Guards, adventurer, balloonist, horseman and skirmisher and the extravagant, artistic Sarah Bernhardt, the most famous actress of her day. Barnes’s LEVELS OF LIFE and Burnaby’s A RIDE TO KHIVA: An Adventure in Central Asia - two books never considered together before, but as Barnes says, ‘People may not notice at the time, but that doesn’t matter. The world has been changed nonetheless.’ LEVELS OF LIFE is an extraordinary read #travel #SarahBernhardt #FredBurnaby #balloonist #ballooning #levelsoflife #JulianBarnes #writing #grief #reading #books #readmore #readthis ‘To read it is a privilege. To have written it is astonishing.’ The Times #sorrow #life #greatbooks #adventure

Transported back to Ancient Iraq through the astonishing sculptures of Assyria, one of the world’s great civilisations, Barnaby Rogerson reviews the exhibition at the British Museum in @countrylifemagazine ‘I am Ashurbanipal: King of the World, King of Assyria’ ‘highly accessible, without dumbing down, tightly focussed on a single lifespan - that of King Ashurbanipal, who reigned over the Assyrian empire of the ancient Middle East from 668BC to 627BC ... horribly fascinating; it teaches us a great deal, but also makes us shudder.’ @britishmuseum until the 24th Feb @countrylifemagazine #assyrian #assyria #britishmuseum #travel #travelhistory #middleeast #ancienthistory #ancientmiddleeast #history #iraq #ancientcivilizations #civilization #ancientnorthafrica @hauspublishing #horse #horseharness

New Year resolutions abound, but ours are - as ever #readmore #travelmore Snapped by Barnaby earlier this year, a second-hand bookseller in Algiers.

We were delighted that #SarahWaters picked Tony Parker’s THE PEOPLE OF PROVIDENCE as ‘The book I most often give as a gift’ in @guardian ‘It’s a collection of interviews with the residents of a south London housing estate that’s startling, moving, depressing and uplifting, but always absolutely riveting.’ All our stock shot out of the office, but the reprint is now in and looking grand. Do get a copy - as Sarah says, it’s a riveting read and is as relevant now as when it was first published in 1983 #london #housing #southlondon #housingestate #travelwriting #tonyparker #guardian #favouriteread #bookchoice #books #guardianbooks #writing #sociology #favouriteauthor #booksofinstagram #peopleofprovidence
