Patrick Leigh Fermor

Patrick Leigh Fermor - Δημήτρης Παπαδήμος, CC BY-SA 3.0June marked the 10-year anniversary of Patrick Leigh Fermor’s passing, and next month John Murray Press is re-publishing his best-known book A Time of Gifts under a new imprint called “Journeys.” Joining me today is Artemis Cooper, who speaks about about Patrick Leigh Fermor and his work. Artemis wrote a monumental biography about Paddy called Patrick Leigh Fermor: An Adventure, which is worth a read. I also speak with Nick Hunt again, who also is the series editor of John Murray’s new imprint "Journeys," about A Time of Gifts and the other books they’re re-publishing this month. And Colin Thubron drops in to say a few words about Paddy. All that is coming up in the interview, but I also want to hear from you — Have you read Patrick Leigh Fermor’s work?

Patrick Leigh Fermor’s “A Time of Gifts” with Artemis Cooper, Nick Hunt, and Colin Thubron

“It’s a terrible thing being a biographer,” Artemis Cooper has said. “One is such a rat.” A consummate inquisitor of the talented, Cooper’s subjects have included food guru Elizabeth David,novelist Elizabeth Jane Howard, and travel writer Patrick Leigh Fermor, whose last book she co-edited with Colin Thubron. She is also the author of Cairo in the War, 1939-1945, co-author with her husband Antony Beevor of Paris After the Liberation, 1944-1949, and editor of two collections of her grandmother Lady Diana Cooper’s letters, to her husband Duff and to her friend Evelyn Waugh. Cooper delivers an hour of conversation with Owen Scott discussing the concept of memory, and telling tales of the 20th-century.Supported by Heartland Bank.

Other Lives: Artemis Cooper (2019)

In 2010 Nick Hunt set out on an epic walk in the footsteps of Patrick Leigh Fermor, across the whole European continent ‘from the Hook of Holland to the Golden Horn.’ Relying, like his hero, on the hospitality of strangers and using Patrick Leigh Fermor’s writings as his only guide, Hunt crossed Holland, Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria, partly to see how much had changed, and how much hadn’t, but mainly in order to have a ‘good old-fashioned adventure.’ His account of his journey Walking the Woods and the Water is published by Nicholas Brealey. Nick Hunt was in conversation with Patrick Leigh Fermor’s friend and biographer Artemis Cooper, who in 2013 worked with Colin Thubron to complete Paddy’s final work The Broken Road. Hosted on Acast.
