Kevin Jackson presents the second in a five-part magazine series.
The radical French thinker Paul Virilio has worked on stained glass with Matisse and Braque, studied philosophy, and campaigned on the streets of Paris. Kevin Jackson profiles the writer who some regard as the most important cultural critic of his time. Historian Orlando Figes confesses to skipping the history in War and Peace, and Tony Briggs offers advice for first-timers tackling Tolstoy. Plus an artist who changed the writing of art history only to be written out of the history books.
