Book of the week: DAS AUSGESTELLTE KIND by Peter Härtling

Posted by Amélie, on 16 January 2012. Comments: 0

After Chopin and George Sand, let's now follow Mozart and family around Europe. At just six years old, young Mozart has already started to show his extraordinary talent. He meets Princes, Kings, even an Empress, who all admire and celebrate him, but none can take away his loneliness. As their father takes the family into foreign lands and towards greatness, Mozart flees into his own world of fantasy and melodies. A moving novel on the melancholy solitude of the different and gifted.

Product Description: Peter Hartling, the acclaimed author of several fictional biographical novels on great Romantic composers and artists, leads us now on the footsteps of a young Mozart travelling around Europe with his family. With great empathy, he tells of the loneliness of the young virtusoso lost in the ambitious plans of his father and of the strength of his creative and artistic drive leading him through on this journey.
