Jonathan Bastable

In 1982, just after I turned 20, I went to live in Leningrad for a year. I was cold and hungry most of the time, and most of my Russian friends were miserable or scared or both. The winter was dark and long, and the regime was oppressive. It was by far the happiest year of my life.

That year, and subsequent years spent at Moscow University as a postgrad, provided much of the core material for Devil's Acre. But I wasn' t then a writer, not yet. After returning to Britain I got a job as a feature writer on The Sunday Times Magazine, and in 1991 I was sent back to Moscow as the newspaper's Russian Affairs correspondent. I covered the slapstick Yeltsin years, and was present at the shelling of the Russian parliament building in 1993 – the moment

Arthur Behrend

Little is known of Arthur Behrend's life but he appears to have attended Sedbergh School, where he was in Hart House from 1910 to 1913.

He seems to have spent time in Spain, particularly six months in Bilbao, in 1921. He was apparently learning about the Spanish side of the family business, which was the Bahr, Behrend Shipping Line. And he was given three months paid leave by his uncle in order
to finish a novel that he was writing, which was entitled 'The House of the Spaniards'. He did finish it but it was not to be published until some years later in 1936. It was subsequently filmed by Ealing Studios.
