2001 - HISTORIES OF MALTA
Figments and Fragments Volume II

This is the eagerly awaited second volume of Giovanni Bonello's 'Histories of Malta'.

In the collection are 34 articles covering a wide variety of subjects and periods, from 'The Maltese Neolithic Culture and the Turin Shroud' to 'Maltese internees' in World War 2. Maltese clocks, sedan chairs, postcards, doctors, music and illustrious visitors to the Islands are all treated in an original and thought-provoking way, bringing history vividly to life.

Giovanni Bonello's wry humour and beguiling style belie the extensive knowledge and deep research brought to each of his subjects, so that learning becomes a highly enjoyable experience.

Giovanni Bonello is a Judge of the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. He writes extensively on human rights, art and history. He is a frequent contributor to Fondazzjoni Patrimonju Malti's Treasures of Malta.
