Cornelis (Cees) van Zweeden is a writer of historical fiction whose first novel, Drina, was published in 2023. He started his career as a journalist and worked in thirty countries. He travelled among the soul-destroying ruins of war-torn Lebanon, covered a vicious Algerian civil war, interviewed the pony-tailed man who almost murdered Serbia's leader Slobodan Milosevic, and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the tenacious Tunisians who toppled dictator Ben Ali. His travels left him with a passion for history but also with the conviction that behind big events lie small stories about ordinary people who are propelled into stardom or sent into oblivion. Often, these tales illustrate the destructive power of history better than a thousand history books. Born in The Netherlands, he moved to London as a foreign correspondent. After London, he was dispatched to Paris and Budapest. When his last assignment came to an end, he reinvented himself as a media lawyer working for international organisations in Ukraine, Kosovo, Morocco, Albania and Serbia. Cornelis now lives with his wife Kitty, a book editor, in Provence and Croatia.
