Lino Briguglio, No man is an island

Description

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 (more former than latter) experience in politics. Others glimmer with anecdotes of his humour and playfulness, with references to his creativity and art, and curiosity on all things from language to religion, sport to philosophy, baking to fishing. Together, they portray Lino as the embodiment of joie de vivre. So much joie and so much vivre, in fact, that it started to become a challenge to keep track of what happened when, in the eight decades of his life. The contributors to this book, family, friends and colleagues are all somehow connected to these events.
