- Histories of Malta
Deceptions
and Perceptions Volume 1
Giovanni Bonello's 'Histories of Malta' is the first volume
in a series of forthcoming publications.
Collected here are 34 contributions of a historical nature ranging from
topics of Malta's Islamic past, such as the Majmuna's tombstone, to the
Fascist interest in the Island as reflected in postal history. The subjects
are diverse and unrelated but are held together through their connection
to Malta.
The book is once again a product of years of research and in-depth study
delivered in the form of 'micro-history' - Bonello's favourite style of
writing. This publication is therefore an entirely enjoyable experience
to the reader and most of all to the Melitensia lovers.
Giovanni Bonello is a Judge of the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.
He writes extensively on human rights, art, history and postal history
topics.
