This is a study of A History of the World in 10½ Chapters by Julian Barnes focused on a history and fiction. He presented a recapitulation theory of history that has been continued since the dawn of history. The motive has been continued since Noah had animals on the Ark to avoid the Deluge, having distinguished them into clean animals and dirty ones. In addition, he showed a process in which Gericault depicted a shipwreck into a painting and that he chose historic events for his art. Barnes suggested, through Gericault’s work process, that historians also select historical events based on their needs. Selection of historical records by a historian means that history moves on subjectively and relatively, not objectively. Barnes admitted that history is a fiction that dramatizes facts and makes various attempts to find reality in this complexity. Although history does not show purely objective facts, he did not despair but emphasized love as an alternative. He emphasized that only love can restore the sad history of mankind that is shown through the recapitulation theory of history.
