Revue de presse
Arthur Guinness may be said to have had more influence on Ireland than almost anyone since St Patrick, and played a major role in shaping the image of Ireland abroad. Some say that scale of Guinness stout was responsible for introducing the cash economy into the nineteenth-century rural Ireland and the Guinness harp is recognised around the world. Yet little is known of the man who established this brewing industry, and the fact that an English company has published his biography bringing together what is known about Arthur's life with a description of the society he lived in and the development of the brewing process. This is a lively story that explains the Guinness rise to fame and fortune but also brings in such other famous characters as Theobald Wolfe Tone and Samuel Johnson. Just the book to read while ensconced in a comfortable armchair with a pint of the black stuff at you elbow. --Books Ireland February 2008
Exciting, revelatory and makes everything else filed under Guinness immediately redundant --Brewery History Journal
Biographie de l'auteur
Patrick Guinness was born in Dublin, was educated at Winchester College and took a law degree from Trinity College Dublin in 1980. After working in the London financial world he returned to Ireland in 1994. A company director, he has 5 children and 2 grandchildren. A life-long student of Dublin's history, he has also sponsored recent research into Irish genetics. He has helped prepare several biographies and art-historical books, and has been published by Kildare's history journal. He has given ten speeches about Arthur Guinness to various historical groups, and for American television, in the last few years.
