📖 A History Of The World In 10 1/2 Chapters

A stowaway aboard Noah's Ark gives us his account of the Voyage - a surprising, subversive one, quite unlike the official version - which explains a lot about how the human race has subsequently developed. A guest lecturer on a cruise ship in the Aegean has his work interrupted by a group of mysterious visitors who place him in a cruel dilemma. An ecclesiastical court in medieval France hears a bizarre case... Julian Barned creates a kaleidoscope of narrative voices - from fiction and fact, painting and snatches of autobiography - that come slowly and compellingly into focus.
