Title Page Dedication Praise I II About the Author ALSO BY JOHN BANVILLE Copyright Page To Colm, Douglas, Ellen, Alice www.docin.com Acclaim for John Banville’s The Sea “A piece of violent poetry—an autumnal, elegiac novel. . . . Treacherously smart and haunting, its story of a ravaged self in search of a reason to go on is cloaked in wave after wave of magnificent but hardly consoling prose.” —The Boston Globe “An utterly contemporary novel that nonetheless could only have come from a mind steeped in the history of the novel and deeply reflective about what makes fiction still worthwhile. . . . John Banville deserves his Booker Prize.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review “[Banville] is prodigiously gifted. He cannot write an unpolished phrase, so we read him slowly, relishing the stream of pleasures he affords. Everything in Banville’s books is alive. . . . He is a writer’s writer [who] can conjure with the poetry of people and places.” —The Independent (London) “Mesmerizing. . . . Banville masterfully melds the past with the present, allowing Max to find strength in what remains behind.” —The Seattle Times “Banville has a reputation as a brilliant stylist—people like to use the word ‘Nabokovian’ in reference to his precisely worded books. His fourteenth novel, The Sea, has so many beautifully constructed sentences that every few pages something cries out to be underlined.” — The Christian Science Monitor “Banville’s latest novel is simultaneously about growing up and growing old, [about] rites of passage: coming-of-age and coming of old age; awakening and dying. . . . Banville has a talent for sensuous phrasing, and pungent observation of human frailty.” —The Sunday Times
