Chopin'S Funeral(ISBN=9780375708688) 115盘 下载 pdf txt 电子版 mobi snb docx

　　Frédéric Chopin’s reputation as one of the Great Romantics

endures, but as Benita Eisler reveals in her elegant and elegiac

biography, the man was more complicated than his iconic

image.

A classicist, conservative, and dandy who relished his conquest

of Parisian society, the Polish émigré was for a while blessed with

genius, acclaim, and the love of Europe’s most infamous woman

writer, George Sand. But by the age of 39, the man whose brilliant

compositions had thrilled audiences in the most fashionable salons

lay dying of consumption, penniless and abandoned by his lover. In

the fall of 1849, his lavish funeral was attended by thousands—but

not by George Sand.

In this intimate portrait of an embattled man, Eisler tells the

story of a turbulent love affair, of pain and loss redeemed by art,

and of worlds—both private and public—convulsed by momentous

change.
