Mozart's Journey to Prague
101-Page series
Checking Availibility...Description
A unique edition of a masterpiece in European literature. Described by George Steiner as "a novella to set beside Thomas Mann's I or Tolstoy's Kreutzer Sonata."
While on a journey with his wife to Prague for the opening night of Don Giovanni, Mozart is caught picking an orange on the grounds of a stately home. But when the resident family find out who they are dealing with, they are delighted to be in the presence of the celebrated composer and invite him to their daughter's wedding.
Mörike's vivid and imaginative depiction of a day in the life of Mozart captures both the humorous and the more fragile and pensive side of the Austrian genius.
