ENRICO CARUSO MY FATHER AND MY FAMILY

In these deeply funny and introspective essays, Andrew Farkas boldly surveys the "in-of-doors," where a higher degree of comfort can be found than out-of-doors, and discovers that our lives are controlled much more by fiction than by anything "real."

This is the first English-language biography of the beloved Swedish tenor, incorporating recollections by his widow, information from the family archives, and material from operatic archives the world over. A chronology of his performances is also included.

?This is the first book to be published in English on Titta Ruffo (1877-1953), the Caruso of baritones and a steadfast antifascist. It is an anthology of articles, interviews, and contemporary reviews, many translated especially for this collection.... Numerous illustrations of Ruffo, a chronology of his public appearances, a complete discography, and an excellent bibliography add reference value. ... Through the interweaving of the articles and reviews, the aura of the operatic world in this period is evoked. Recommended for all libraries with an interest in opera.?-Choice
