"The story of the free-thinking, plain-talking, artist, teacher, politician, and world-renowned economist as told by one-hundred or so of his friends, family and colleagues."
Lino Briguglio - No Man is An Island, co-edited by Marie Briguglio and Michael Briguglio, will be launched in the upcoming Malta book fair. The book contains over 100 contributions by family, friends, and colleagues.
In this vibrant and colourful publication, many speak of Lino Briguglio as a free-thinker and a plain talker, as a passionate teacher and persevering researcher. Some bear testament to his bitter-sweet experience in politics. Others glimmer with anecdotes of his humour and playfulness, with references to his creativity and art. Together, they portray Lino as the embodiment of joie de vivre.
The book is not only a celebration of Lino, but also of his local and international networks, including the people who have contributed to this publication. In this social construction, dad’s life is interwoven with art, politics, economics, and island studies. It is a journey that spans across eight decades, during which he assumed a plurality of roles.
Most contributions in this book present Lino on the front stage of public life. But there is also the backstage of private life, forged within family life and friendships.
'Lino Briguglio - No Man Is An Island' is published by Kite and book signings will take place at the Book Fair (MFCC, Ta' Qali) on Friday 8 November between 6pm and 8pm, and on Sunday 10 November between 10am and 12pm.
The book can be pre-ordered here and will also be available at leading bookshops. For further details please contact the editors or Kite Group.
