LONGING
by JD LANDIS
A Snowbooks paperback in very good condition, hardly even any scuff marks at all. 509 pages.
This is a biography about the composer Robert Schumann and other characters in history that had any association with him, but with fiction intertwined.
Longing is a powerful romantic tale played out amidst the flowering of German romanticism, combining the anatomy of a life-long love affair with a journey through one of Europe's most vital periods of artistic creativity.
Author's note. 'The epigraphs are archival. The characters are historical. The dates of events and correspondence are, when verifiable, authentic. The rest is fiction masquerading as fact, and the reverse.'
