I wrote this novel last, but, in fact it is the first volume of what had now become The Enlightenment Quartet. I look upon Memoirs as an introductory novel to the series. It covers an extended period, from the late 17th to the early-mid 18th century. What happens in this novel chronologically precedes the three others, and it also fills in a lacuna. In a sense, it wraps itself around the second volume. The four novels are in different formats: Memoirs are, well, memoirs. Hotel Transylvania, the next volume is a straightforward narrative. Child of Europe is largely in letters. The last, An Outsider among the Thespians is a narrative again. The Quartet deals with wars, exile, European outreach, art, and music. The protagonists are diplomats, generals, refugees, aristocrats, missionaries, artists, men and women. My overall aim was to evoke my favorite century from various viewing angles. Of course, the Quartet presents only a small portion of the times in which it is set. The Enlightenment reached its apex in the 18th century. Then, two revolutions, one political and one industrial, irrevocably changed Europe. And, as they say, progress cannot be reversed. P.S. A volume entitled Memoirs of Prince Eugene appeared in London in 1811. It turned out to be a well-meaning forgery by the Prince de Ligne I would like to repeat, once again that this novel is fiction.

This is a novel about an extraordinary man, whose life straddled the late 17th and early-mid 18th century. Prince Eugene of Savoy was born in Paris in 1663 of Italian and French aristocratic families. His great uncle, Cardinal Mazarin was France's all powerful Chief minister. His youngest nephew, Eugene was slated to become a priest. Eugene had different plans for himself. At age 20 he personally asked for an Army Commission from Louis XIV. The King rejected the request out of hand. In decades to come, Louis had ample reason to regret that decision. Prince Eugene immediately left France for Austria and entered Emperor Leopold's Army. France's loss was Austria's gain. Eugene's rise in the Habsburg Army was spectacular. Under his leadership Austria rose to the peak of her power, and repeatedly vanquished both the French and Ottoman Turkish armies. In his later years, Prince Eugene became Austria's leading statesman, while continuing to be its Generalissimo. In his private life, Eugene aspired to become a grand collector, established a great library and a fine art collection. He had built some of the Habsburg Empire's finest castles, among them the Belvedere in Vienna and the Schlosshof in the country. His long friendship with the Countess Eleonora de Batthyany was the subject of endless gossip in Europe, but the Prince and the countess jealously guarded their privacy. Prince Eugene was a true cosmopolitan European in the Age of Enlightenment. These brief, private memoirs are a reflection of his views, opinions, likes and dislikes. They open a window on his times and world.

As a small boy in Epping Forest, Jack Straw could never have imagined that one day he would become Britain's Lord Chancellor. As one of five children of divorced parents, he was bright enough to get a scholarship to a direct-grant school, but spent his holidays as a plumbers' mate for his uncles to bring in some much-needed extra income. Yet he spent 13 years and 11 days in government, including long and influential spells as Home Secretary and Foreign Secretary. This is the story of how he got there. His memoirs offer a unique insight into the complex, sometimes self-serving but always fascinating world of British politics and reveals the toll that high office takes, but , more importantly, the enormous satisfaction and extraordinary privilege of serving both your constituents and your country. Straw’s has been a very public life, but he reveals the private face, too and offers readers a vivid and authoritative insight into the Blair/Brown era and, indeed, the last forty years of British politics.

'a reflective, generous and eloquent book.' - Sydney Morning Herald ' [A] gracious memoir.' - Weekend Australian 'Michael Kirby writes with great humour and extraordinary warmth.' - Canberra Times '[A] charming and oddly moving collection of autobiographical excursions.' - Saturday Age Michael Kirby is one of Australia's most admired public figures. At a time of spin and obfuscation, he speaks out passionately and straightforwardly on the issues that are important to him. Even those who disagree with him have been moved by the courage required of him to come out as a high-profile gay man, which at times has caused him to be subjected to the most outrageous assaults on his character. This is a collection of reminiscences in which we can discover the private Michael Kirby. It allows the public figure to speak in his own voice, without any intermediary. He opens up as never before about his early life, about being gay, about his forty-three-year relationship with Johan van Vloten, about his religious beliefs and even about his youthful infatuation with James Dean. Beautifully written, reflective and generous, in that warm and gently self-deprecating voice that is so characteristic of him, this is a memoir that Michael Kirby's many admirers have been waiting for.

By his early thirties, Paul Allen was a world-famous billionaire-and that was just the beginning. In 2007 and 2008, Time named Paul Allen, the cofounder of Microsoft, one of the hundred most influential people in the world. Since he made his fortune, his impact has been felt in science, technology, business, medicine, sports, music, and philanthropy. His passion, curiosity, and intellectual rigour - combined with the resources to launch and support new initiatives-have literally changed the world. The book features previously untold stories about everything from the true origins of Microsoft to Allen's role in the dawn of private space travel (with SpaceShipOne) and in discoveries at the frontiers of brain science. With honesty, humor, and insight, Allen tells the story of a life of ideas made real.
