A Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Man by James Joyce. (Abridged Audiobook + Texts)
"You have asked me what I would do and what I would not do. I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve in that which I no longer believe whether it call itself my home, my fatherland or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use-silence, exile, and cunning".
James Joyce - "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man", ch. 5
Daniel Silva's fourth novel, The Kill Artist, introduced an unusual but credible new hero: Gabriel Allon, a world-class art restorer and former member of the Israeli Secret Service.
