One was a Prince, one was a Count, and the third was a commoner, who four years earlier had been the subject of one of John Singer Sargent's greatest portraits. The commoner was Samuel Pozzi, society doctor, pioneer gynaecologist and free-thinker - a scientific man with a famously complicated private life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePozzi's life played out against the backdrop of the Parisian Belle Epoque. The beautiful age of glamour and pleasure more often showed its ugly side: hysterical, narcissistic, decadent and violent, with more parallels to our own age than we might imagine. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e**SHORTLISTED FOR THE DUFF COOPER PRIZE 2019**\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eBarnes, Julian\u003cb\u003eJulian Barnes \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of thirteen novels, including \u003ci\u003eThe Sense of an Ending\u003c\/i\u003e, which won the 2011 Man Booker Prize for Fiction, and \u003ci\u003eSunday Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestsellers \u003ci\u003eThe Noise of Time \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Only Story\u003c\/i\u003e.
