Acknowledgements

Luigi Malerba’s words come from La Pianeta Azzurro (Milan: Garzanti, 1986).

The Frenchman who dined well was Jean d’Ormesson’s grandfather, who dies in C’était bien (Paris: Gallimard, 2003).

The brief comment on war by Chris Hedges is taken from War Is a Force that Gives Us Meaning (New York: Anchor Books, 2003).

For my reading of Nastasya Filippovna, I quite extensively used the David Magarshack translation of Dostoevsky’s The Idiot (Harmondsworth: Penguin Classics, 1965).

The image of Antigone was, of course, inspired primarily by Sophocles, but also by Anouilh’s version, from which some lines and the scene of her brother Haemon’s paper flower were borrowed.

Two of the women in the book made their first appearance in some of my earlier novels: Nicolette in The Ambassador (1983), and Andrea in The Wall of the Plague (1984).

Thank you to Colette Gordon for her understanding of Scheherazade.
