"One of the daintiest possible of volumes. The page is exquisite, and the binding befits it. * * * The story is full of humor, intermingled with strains of heroism and pathos, and sustained all the while by a noble moral of duty to man and trust in God. Of all the queer German tales which we have read, this is one of the queerest."—New Englander.
Mozart. A Biographical Novel.
From the German of Heribert Rau, by Edward Rowland Sill. Cloth, gilt, $1.75; plain, $1.50; paper $1.00.
"A succession of beautiful pictures from the life of the sensitive and impassioned artist…. The work has the charm of actual adventure and incident, without the usual waxen formality of the historical romance. The description of European social life, especially the German domestic sketches, are brilliant and often delightful. Mr. Sill has evidently engaged in the translation not as a task, but as a labor of love, and has admirably succeeded."—N.Y. Tribune.
"A story full of insight and artistic sympathy—a beautiful memorial and tribute to the life, the trials, the triumphs, and the memory of genius; and, besides all this, has the charm of a fascinating narrative and the value of a genuine memoir."—Boston Transcript.
"A book of rare and absorbing interest."—Hours at Home.
