Krátky popis
One man, his piano and their miraculous survival. 'Extraordinary'
Baroness Julia Neuberger'Powerful and gruelling ... an almost
unimaginable story of horror and survival' Mail on
Sunday'Stunning.A beautiful blend of action, poetry,
thought-provoking comment and music ... just brilliant' James
Ainscough OBE'A gripping narrative of suffering, loss and survival,
with music at its heart' Fiona MaddocksAll future, freedom and
success lay ahead of young pianist Stephen de Bastion in 1930s
Hungary. Life whirled headily around cocktails, romance, applause
and the buzz of Budapest late into the night.Then, 1939. Stephen's
world disintegrates and this becomes a story of his brutal descent,
of his time in labour camps, of Mauthausen and Gunskirchen and the
unimaginable horrors he endured during the Holocaust as a man of
Jewish descent. Yet, this is also a tale of extraordinary escape
...and the piano, waiting for him. The same piano that Roxanne de
Bastion, his granddaughter, inherits when her father dies. It has
been in the family over one hundred years but it is only when, deep
in grief, she discovers a cassette recording of Stephen, that the
astonishing history of the piano, the man and her family begins to
unravel.Weaving together his original recordings, unpublished
memoirs, letters and documents, Roxanne sings out her grandfather's
story of music and hope, lost and found. Luminous and profoundly
moving, this book captures the great spirit of one man in the face
of darkness and the hope that echoes down through generations.
