Description
Arthur & George is a historical novel that tells the story of two men from different worlds. Arthur, a doctor and writer from Edinburgh, and George, a solicitor from a small Staffordshire village, are brought together by a series of events that make sensational headlines at the time. In 1895, George Edjali's family receives vicious anonymous letters, which they initially dismiss as racial prejudice. However, when the police become involved, they begin to suspect George of being the author of the letters. Despite his protests of innocence, George is arrested and found guilty of slashing horses and livestock. Arthur Conan Doyle, a famous detective writer, becomes determined to clear George's name after hearing about the case. With meticulous research and vivid imagination, Julian Barnes brings to life the inner lives of these two men, exploring their experiences and emotions in a gripping and thought-provoking narrative.
