Articoli correlati a Brother of Sleep
In this shocking and beguiling novel, Robert Schneider has created a world that is utterly seductive and utterly original. Could the greatest musician of all time live his life in a peasant village and never be discovered by the world? Set against the mystical and bizarre backdrop of a remote Alpine village in the early nineteenth century, this astounding novel tells the story of Elias Johannes Alder, a musical genius with supernatural hearing who develops his talent in secret midnight sessions at the church organ. A spiritual descendant of Patrick Suskind's Perfume, Brother of Sleep moves inexorably towards tragedy as Elias is undone by his intense feeling for Elsbeth, the woman he loves.
