Interpretation Concering Books Canone inverso

In an isolated Austrian music school in the 1930s, two boys, each struggling with the burden of talent, the curse of obsession, and the forces of history ranged against them, become locked in a complex friendship. One is a Hungarian bastard peasant boy touched by brilliance, the other the sole heir to an Austrian aristocratic family desperately clinging to the prerogatives of noble birth. The key to their bond lies hidden in the secret of a beautiful, strangely carved violin. As their lives unfold through the most violent decades of our century, the two become companions, rivals, and, inevitably, lethal enemies.

Assessment Of Books Canone inverso
A unique violin serves as the set piece around which the author builds a friendship between two young men. Both young men are brilliant musicians, but one young man has it all and the other has nothing not just in the sense that one is from a wealthy aristocracy family and lives in a castle-like mansion, but also in the sense that the rich boy even has a family. The poor youth never knew his father and lost his mother at a young age. All he has is a distant step-father. The plot evolves with a

One of the best books I have ever read. And I have read many books...

Meh. It was such a short book that it's hard to fault it too much since I didn't feel like I wasted any time reading it, but I wasn't wowed. I feel like this would have worked much better as a short story or a longer book instead of a short novel. There were way too many conversations about immortality that seemed pretty repetitive, yet there was a lack of descriptive scenes of the more important plot points. The big reveal at the end is disappointing and doesn't really make sense, and it could

This was a quick and easy read. I really enjoyed it. If you've ever seen the movie "The Red Violin" (and liked it) then you'll probably enjoy this book.Not that they follow the same storyline, but there are similarities and the tone of both stories are very close.

I recently read and adored Maurensig's first novel, The Luneburg Variation, and so there was nothing for it but to get hold of his only other novel (so far as I can find) to be translated into English. I've liked this one very nearly as much; let's hope some enlightened UK/US publisher will see fit to start translating some of his other works.There are nested stories here. An anonymous purchaser acquires at an auction at Christies, London, a very distinctive violin. He's just admiring it in his

I learned about Canone Inverso, a novel by Paolo Maurensig, from Maria Grazia when she reviewed the movie version that is loosely based on the novel. I read about the book on Amazon and promptly added it to my TBR list for this summer. A business trip last week that involved three lengthy flights provided the reading time for me to dive into this marvelous book. It's a quick read, with beautiful prose translated from Italian to English by Jenny McPhee, and a puzzling, compelling story.The story
