St Martin's Ride was first published in 1990 just after the
tumultuous events of the previous year that reshaped Europe. It was
timely then, it is timely now. Born in 1943, Paul Binding was taken
by his parents to live in Essen, a city destroyed by British
bombing during the Second World War. His experiences in that ruined
city haunted him for years, until, in 1989 he joined the scenes of
wild rejoicing as the Berlin Wall came down and a new era was
ushered in. Part-autobiography, part-meditation on the dilemmas of
Europe, St Martin's Ride is an utterly original and deeply moving
exploration of the uncertainties that affected Europeans for nearly
half a century. 'One of those rare masterpieces which portrays the
peculiar truth of the world of grown-ups in the mind of a child who
has been thrust into excruciating circumstances. Literary art of a
very rare kind.' Stephen Spender, Independent on Sunday 'A book as
beautiful as it is profound.' Theodore Zeldin
