About This Item

New York:: Harcourt, Inc.,, (2000). First edition -. Very near fine in glossy wrappers.. Advance Reading Copy (trade paperback format. ) The author's second novel, set in the Romantic era, and based on the lives of composer Robert Schumann and his pianist wife, Clara, and their relationships with the artists and musicians of their time - a story of "music, madness, genius, and passion." 442 pp.

Synopsis

The Romantic era was the cradle for artists who lived life to the fullest and loved without restraint, and Robert Schumann and his wife, Clara, were the epitome of this unbounded period. Robert shocked and confused listeners with music that heralded the beginning of the modern era while he drove both his mind and his body to their limit. Clara was the most acclaimed female pianist of her time-a time that included Liszt, Chopin, Mendelssohn, and later, Brahms, whom Clara and Robert loved more than any other man. With characters of surpassing vitality, Longing delineates the most intimate details of the relationships between men and women with a surpassing precision, sympathy, and wisdom. Combining the dramatic historical narrative of The Alienist with the passionate sensitivity of Possession and the sensual intellectuality of The Unbearable Lightness of Being, it is a consummate achievement of the novelist's art.
