A Bilingual Anthology

This book is designed primarily to alleviate the agony that language learning in its early stages entails, when the foreign words in the sentence simply will not combine to make sense. Legions of beginners give up when they could have made it with the aid of a book like this. But for centuries schoolmasters have frowned on this device, calling it dirty names like crib, crutch, pony. But the truth is that highly educated and motivated people have learned to read a foreign language this way. The great German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann, who knew many ancient and modern languages, acquired them by using Bernardin de Saint-Pierre's Paul et Virginie as a pony. There are many bilingual series, such as the Loeb Classics or the Bollingen series, which have gained high prestige.

Tweed - star detective turned spymaster - reluctantly agrees to make inquiries into a man called Michael Volkanian at the urging of his old friend, Superintendent Buchanan. Buchanan had found Michael on the steps in Whitehall, where he heard him utter only three words: 'I witnessed murder.' With Paula Grey, Tweed embarks on his investigation and gradually locates four skeletons. Two of them are found on Dartmoor, near the mansion of Drago Volkanian, the Armenian founder of a giant supermarket chain - and an armaments plant. Tweed interrogates Volkanian's stepdaughter, the steely and moody Lucinda, her elder brother Larry, the company managing director, and meets Michael again, the youngest sibling, who is still unable to speak. He is suffering from amnesia - or so say two psychiatrists. Unlike Buchanan, Tweed insists that the horrific murders are not random. A link must exist between the four victims. He also suspects that a foreign power is involved. With Paula, Bob Newman and his team, Tweed travels south to Marseilles, where murder is a way of life. Escaping the city alive by a hairsbreadth, they race back to Britain, to desolate Dartmoor. One eerie climax follows another. But who is the ruthless killer? And could Michael be the key to the conundrum?

Over the course of his distinguished career as a foreign correspondent, which spans more than sixty years, Alistair Cooke has known, interviewed, or reported on literally hundreds of the most influential men and women of the twentieth century. Here he has collected his memories of more than a score of them: they include actors and generals, statesmen and eccentrics, a poet, a jazzman, an intensely scholarly woman and a casually funny one, an architect, a publisher, and several politicians--all of whom, in Cooke's view, have left the world a better or more interesting place.
