"Kenneth Clark was the creator and narrator of the fascinating Civilization series produced by the BBC in 1970. The son of a wealthy, eccentric father, Clark had an Edwardian childhood, went to Oxford, worked with Bernard Berenson at i Tatti and fell in love with the art and architecture of Italy. He became a great art historian and critic and was appointed director of the National Gallery in London when he was only 30 years old. He consorted with the rich and famous of the world but often found their world one "without books, without information and without ideas" which were the things he really valued. Clark is a wonderful and amusing writer with many good stories to tell. I highly reccommend this first volume of his autobiograhy. The second volume, The Other Half, follows his life until the death of his wife Jane, is also excellent."
