Bernard Samson: Faith Part 34

I heard Bret coming back down the corridor to get one or the other of us. And then I heard Gloria's voice greeting him. Just for a moment or two they talked and laughed together. I couldn't hear what they were saying but Bret's voice was firm and friendly, and Gloria's laugh was so light and fresh and warm.

The sky was even darker now. The thunder came again. How could the sky be so dark without it starting to rain? 'What's all this about having Faith?' said Werner. 'What does Bret mean by Faith?'

'Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews eleven, verse one. I found that in a Bible I was given recently.'

About the Author.

FAITH.

Len Deighton was born in 1929. He worked as a railway clerk before doing his National Service in the RAF as a photographer attached to the Special Investigation Branch.

After his discharge in 1949, he went to art school a first to the St Martin's School of Art, and then to the Royal College of Art on a scholarship. His mother was a professional cook and he grew up with an interest in cookery a a subject he was later to make his own in an animated strip for the Observer and in two cookery books. He worked for a while as an illustrator in New York and as art director of an advertising agency in London.

Deciding it was time to settle down, Deighton moved to the Dordogne where he started work on his first book, The Ipcress File. Published in 1962, the book was an immediate success.

Since then his work has gone from strength to strength, varying from espionage novels to war, general fiction and non-fiction. The BBC made Bomber into a day-long radio drama in 'real time'. Deighton's history of World War Two, Blood, Tears and Folly, was published to wide acclaim a Jack Higgins called it 'an absolute landmark'.

As Max Hastings observed, Deighton captured a time and a mood a 'To those of us who were in our twenties in the 1960s, his books seemed the coolest, funkiest, most sophisticated things we'd ever read' a and his books have now deservedly become classics.
