  • "Logan Mountstuart's long life is both ordinary and extraordinary. A writer, a spy and later an art dealer, Logan mixes with the men and women who shaped the twentieth century. But he's also a son, a husband and a lover, and he makes the same mistakes we all do in his search for happiness. William Boyd's bestselling novel, a rich, intriguing and entertaining account of a life lived to the full, comes to the TV screen in a major new series scripted by the author himself."

  • "Roman mêlant faits réels et imaginaires, sur un personnage extravagant : Logan Mountstuart (1906-1991). Né d'une mère uruguayenne et d'un père anglais, l'écrivain et critique anglais mène une vie pleine de rebondissements, de scandales, en même temps qu'il est à la recherche d'un havre de paix qu'il trouvera à la fin de sa vie dans le sud de la France."
  • ""Any Human Heart tells the story of Logan Mountstuart through his diaries, and his experiences mirror most of the major events of the 20th century. He was a student at Oxford in the 20s, a novelist, a journalist covering the Spanish Civil War, a spy during World War II, a prisoner of war, an art dealer, a teacher in Africa, and then a retiree in France. He's a shallow man, more interested in enriching his own life rather than others, and he loses wives, children, lovers, and friends over the years. Eventually Mountstuart moves from self-absorption to a more mature acceptance of the world around him. By the end of his life, he becomes not just a man we've come to know intimately, but a man whose successes and failures often mimic our own"--Reviewofbooks.com."
