My father, Christopher Stobart, has just published his memoirs - available now from York Bookshop. https://lnkd.in/eegUJVDr Christopher Stobart was born in 1941 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to an English father and an aristocratic Austrian mother, who had met in unusual circumstances in the late 1930s in Hungary. He was educated at Ampleforth College and then Pembroke College, Cambridge before pursuing careers in publishing, financial journalism and finally mining consultancy where he worked for more than 30 years and established himself as an authority on non-ferrous metals. His memoir reveals the remarkable tale of his parents’ first meeting, together with a rich family history traced back to the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the dark days of pre-war Austria. It also recounts many journeys made by the author in Africa, South America and remote parts of Russia, Central Asia and China, at a time of great social and political change and unrest. The author assembles these diverse fragments to tell the story of his own life, to re-create lives of his parents and grandparents, and to give an eyewitness account of some major societal changes that flowed from events in the late 20th century.
