From the publisher

Excerpt from Franz Liszt, Artist and Man, Vol. 1: 1811 1840 The history of art, and more particularly the history of music, presents but few apparitions equally remarkable, rare, but at the same time difficult to grasp, as has been the career and life-work of the master who forms the subject of the present book. He filled the world with astonishment, like some wondrous phenomenon just as a comet heralded in his birth, so his coming was hailed by poets and critics. Scarcely any individual in the history of art gathered so much brilliancy, or such a poetical charm, round itself, was adorned with so many honours from all parts of Europe, or was surrounded by such love and veneration, verging almost to worship, as Franz Liszt. On the other hand, there is scarcely an artist's life which provoked. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
