The Rest is Silence follows the story of Muriel Mead, an introspective schoolgirl who disappears from a village lane on the eve of World War II. Was she a victim or simply a young woman determined to live on her own terms? Told across dual narratives, The Rest is Silence presents the radically different accounts of two women bound to Muriel by memory, longing, and loss. As each narrator searches for answers, their stories reveal not a neat singular truth but a mosaic coloured by their own convictions about choice, possibility, and the nature of knowing. The Rest is Silence offers a thoughtfully crafted meditation about the stories we tell, the silences we keep, and what it means to live out of step with the mainstream.

The life of the worlds greatest modern artist by one of Britains greatest artists. Positive, original, diverting and highly effective. Sunday Times This biography achieves that rare distinction of never having a dull page. Independent on Sunday Everything about Picasso, except his physical stature, was on an enormous scale. His appetitel for sex and money, eating and drinking, friends and quarrels, comedy and tragedy, are legendary. No artist of the first rank has been so aw-inspiringly productive. No artist of any rank has made so much money. A few artists have rivalled his life-span of ninety years, but none has attracted so insatiable a public interest. Patrick OBrian, author of the famous Aubrey-Maturin novels, was a near neighbour of Picassos in the south of France for many years and knew him well. His much admired biography gives full weight to hte distinctly Mediterranean origins of Picassos character and art. The man that emerges from teh pages of this scholarly and passionate biography is one of many contradictions: hard and tender, mean and generous, affectionate and cold, private despite his relish of fame. A man who, despite the professed communism of his later years, in OBrians view, retained to the end of his life a residual Catholic mentality.

Dieses Buch ist ein Katalog der meisten Uniformen, die wahrend der Napoleonischen Kriege zwischen 1789 und 1815 getragen wurden. Mein Ziel war es, einen vollstandigen Leitfaden fur Illustratoren, Drehbuchautoren, Historiker oder fur all jene zu erstellen, die sich wie ich einfach nur fur die Weltgeschichte interessieren.

Hemos complicado excesivamente el estudio del pasado dando mayor importancia a opiniones e intereses nacionalistas, religiosos y morales, relegando el hecho histórico a un segundo plano, subordinándolo a los intereses del sistema que controla nuestra educacion. No podemos aceptar esa manipulacion, es nuestro deber librarnos de las cadenas falsamente culturales por respeto hacia nuestros antepasados. Despues de muchos años estudiando Historia, he llegado a la conclusion de que la mejor manera de conocer el pasado es a traves de una cronologia imparcial y objetiva que coloque cada acontecimiento en su lugar exacto en el tiempo y revele la historia sin manipulaciones ni medias verdades. Obras cronologicas siempre fueron un complemento secundario en los libros, yo la he transformado en el centro de la narrativa, la mas completa cronologia historica existente.
