He was able to breathe life into the smallest of roles through intense preparation and a nuanced performance, like that of the interpreter and guide Billy Fish in" The Man Who Would Be King"( 1975), an act that brought him international attention.
His seductive, resonant voice combined with a gift for mimicry and a sharp ear for accents made him the natural choice as narrator for audio books.

He voiced all 86 characters in the 1997 BBC World Service broadcast of Vikram Seth's novel," A Suitable Boy".

He played an instrumental part in bringing together film makers James Ivory and Ismail Merchant and acted in several of their Merchant Ivory Productions films such as" The Guru"( 1969)," Hullabaloo Over Georgie and Bonnie's Pictures"( 1978)," The Courtesans of Bombay"( 1983) and" The Deceivers"( 1988).

Longus
Longus, sometimes Longos, was the author of an ancient Greek novel or romance," Daphnis and Chloe".
Nothing is known of his life; it is assumed that he lived on the isle of Lesbos( setting for" Daphnis and Chloe") during the 2nd century AD.
It has been suggested that the name Longus is merely a misinterpretation of the first word of" Daphnis and Chloe"'s title" Λεσβιακῶν ἐρωτικῶν λόγοιstory of a Lesbian romanceLesbian" for" from Lesbos island") in the Florentine manuscript; EE Seiler observes that the best manuscript begins and ends with" λόγου"( not" λόγγουποιμενικῶν".
If his name was really Longus, he was possibly a freedman of some Roman family which bore that name as a cognomen.

John-Étienne Chaponnière
Jean- Élie Chaponnière, known as John- Étienne Chaponnière( and also known as Jean- Étienne Chaponnière; 11 July 1801- 19 June 1835) was a Swiss sculptor active in Italy and France.
Chaponnière was born in Geneva, where he studied at the school of the" Société des Arts" under Joseph Collart and Charles Wielandy.
He moved to Paris in 1822, where he studied first at the" École Gratuite de Dessin" and then under sculptor James Pradier, who advised him to abandon painting for sculpture.
After a period in Naples from 1827- 1829, he moved to Florence where he lived with Lorenzo Bartolini, and then onwards to Rome.
In 1827 he created his first major piece," la Jeune captive pleurant sur le tombeau de Byron", which he sold to the Musée Rath in Geneva.
It was sufficiently well- received that he was made an honorary member of the" Société des Arts".
His subsequent works, including the" Son of William Tell", an allegorical bas- relief for the bust of Marc- Auguste Pictet, and a" Hunting and Fishing Group"( later renamed" Daphnis and Chloe"), were also successful in Geneva in 1829.
After a brief time in Switzerland, he returned to Paris, where his" Daphnis and Chloe" proved successful enough in 1831 that Adolphe Thiers commissioned a bas- relief of the taking of Alexandria for the Arc de Triomphe( which was subsequently shown in the Salon of 1834).
Chaponnière retitled his" Jeune captive" figure as" Une captive de Missolonghi", under which title it was exhibited in the Salon of 1833.
His 1834" David and Goliath" was also a success, and was in 1854 cast in bronze for Geneva's promenade des Bastions.
In rapidly declining health, Chaponnière died in 1835 at Monnetier- Mornex( Haute- Savoie), near Geneva.
