A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"Incident and character are vividly depicted, period is richly evoked and the descriptive passages remind one what a splendid poet the author is." (Observer)

"An entertaining and at times moving book. Mr Abse relates some very amusing anecdotes, and his informal yet controlled style is capable of moving without any sense of dislocation from these lighter occasions to deeply serious and affecting passages." (Times Literary Supplement)
