Sinopsis

'Written with great clarity and just the right degree of dry humour, Michael Savage?s memoir is a pleasure to read. From his childhood in wartime England, to his successful global career in the oil industry, to his 'second career' in opera and theatre, Savage is an entertaining and deeply informed guide to a world that he has seen transformed again and again. Running through it all is his deep concern for his fellow humans. This is best exemplified by his long-standing professional commitment to ensuring indigenous communities were always active participants in, and beneficiaries of, energy reserves found on their land.I first worked with Savage in Alaska in 1969 and his dedication to this cause left an enduring impression on me.' Lord Browne of Madingley (former chairman and CEO of BP)'Over a long and supremely colorful life spanning continents, Michael has touched and changed many lives. This highly informative, entertaining, and candid memoir is a testament to the man, the Mensch, and will surely serve as an example to us all of what it means to lead a full and meaningful life.' Sir Donald Runnicles (General Music Director, Deutsche Oper, Berlin, Former Music Director, San Francisco Opera)'Quite fascinating and wonderfully written.' Robert Hass (Former US Poet Laureate)
