\u201cWe view our role of lecturer to be that of raconteurs of well-researched, intriguing and authentic stories, based on major historic events or people. Our goal and passion is to inform and entertain a sophisticated audience, by using hundreds of pictures and numerous audio-visual documents in each presentation.<\/strong><\/h3>

Richard Ren\u00e9 Silvin is a historian and lecturer, who has created a library of over 25 lectures. These include the subjects of his books on the Duke and Duchess of Windsor<\/i>, Addison Mizner<\/i>, and the SS Normandie<\/i>. In addition, he focuses on famous women with whom he had personal connections, like Marlene Dietrich, Elizabeth Taylor and Audrey Hepburn. <\/strong><\/h3>

Robert Versteeg’s extensive knowledge about music guides his topics to be oriented towards pop icons. His background as a performing artist guides Silvin Books’ mission to bring full-rounded performances to audiences.<\/strong><\/h3> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
