Reseña del editor:

From film stars to politicians, tycoons to writers, dissidents to lifestyle gurus, Lunch with the FT is a selection of classic interviews conducted in the unforgiving proximity of a restaurant table.

The list of people who have had Lunch with the FT since 1994 reads like an international Who's Who of our times. Meet the rich and famous, the weird and the brilliant, the brave and the virtuous, brought to you by the Financial Times' global network of columnists and correspondents.

The operative word is lunch: this book brings you right to the table to decide what you think of Angela Merkel or Martin Amis, George Soros or Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, Angelina Jolie or Jimmy Carter. Meet not just oligarchs and royals, but the tycoon who will pay African presidents to quit, and one of the Arab world's most notorious sons.

Also included are James Ferguson's famous illustrations in black and white.

Contraportada:

'From the very first mouthful, Lunch with the FT was destined to become a permanent fixture in the Financial Times. The formula was deceptively simple: a conversation-cum-interview over an agreeable lunch. Good food was essential, preferably washed down with a decent bottle of wine to elicit insights and the occasional indiscretion. There have now been more than 800 lunches, featuring presidents, playwrights, tycoons, filmstars, monks and more than the occasional oddball.

Inevitably, lunch - like the FT - has evolved. In the age of the smartphone and still or sparkling water, the FT has accommodated the busy lives of the rich, powerful and self-important by agreeing to a breakfast, tea or the occasional sandwich. But even modest fare can produce scintillating copy. Here are 52 of the best - an international who's who from the arts, business, politics and science. They meet our famous test: FT journalismmust not only inform but also delight readers'
