Features: This book introduces the brilliant life story of the most talented musician of the 19th century, Chopin, in a romantic era. He lived in Paris for eighteen years, nearly half of his short life, shining at the center of many stars. These geniuses formed an era—Victor Hugo, Balzac, Stendhal, Delacroix, Liszt, Berlioz, and of course George Sand—a rebellious female writer who became Chopin's lover and protector. The author, with rich imagination and insight, draws widely from diaries, memoirs, correspondence, and other materials to depict the composer's love life and creative journey in Paris, revealing the profound inner world and complex romantic experiences of Chopin and George Sand.
