memoir, family history
Christopher Stobart was born in 1941 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to an
English father and an aristocratic Austrian mother, who had met in
unlikely circumstances in the late 1930s in Hungary.
He was educated
at Ampleforth College and then Pembroke College, Cambridge before
pursuing careers in publishing, financial journalism and finally mining
consultancy where he worked for more than 30 years and established
himself as an authority on non-ferrous metals.
This memoir reveals
the remarkable tale of his parents’ first meeting, together with a rich
family history traced back to the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the dark
days of pre-war Austria. It also recounts many journeys made by the
author in Africa, South America and remote parts of Russia, Central Asia
and China, at a time of great social and political change and unrest.
The
author assembles these diverse fragments to tell the story of his own
life, to re-create lives of his parents and grandparents, and to give an
eyewitness account of some major societal changes that flowed from
events in the late 20th century.
