Everything about Picasso, except his physical stature, was on an enormous scale. His appetite for sex and money, eating and drinking, friends and quarrels, comedy and tragedy, are legendary. No artist of the first rank has been so aw-inspiringly productive. No artist of any rank has made so much money.

Patrick O’Brian, author of the famous Aubrey-Maturin novels, was a near neighbour of Picasso’s in the south of France for many years and knew him well.

Confiteor è il racconto dell'uomo che sono diventato, non flusso di coscienza, ma fatti, storie. E l'attraversamento, in settant'anni di vita, di tre secoli, dal mio "Ottocento" a oggi. Piergiorgio Paterlini ci consegna un mondo, non soltanto un libro.

إنّهما سيرتان متكاملتان؛ سيرة ذاتية خاصة بالكاتب، وسيرة غيرية متعلقة بالأديب، وفي نفس الوقت هي رواية فنية تعتمد على التخييل والالتفات والتشويق والاستطراد والاهتمام بصناعة البيان وبلاغة التصوير، وهذا مما يجعل "طه حسين" أحد رواد الأدب العربي الحديث الأفذاذ، كما أن في هذه السيرة إدانة لجيل من المثقفين العرب الذين قصدوا أوروبا بحثًا عن العلم واستكمالًا لدراساتهم العليا، فانبهروا بحضارة الغرب، ولكنهم بدلًا من أن يستفيدوا من العلوم والمعارف والآداب، سقطوا في الغواية والرذيلة وفتنة الخطيئة، و انغمسوا في بوتقة الشر والفساد، والانسياق الأعمى للغرب والإيمان بفلسفته المادية المحضة وأفكاره المنحلة....
