SECONDHAND BOOKS | ENTERTAINERS
In 1934, Igor Stravinsky was fifty-two, a Russian expatriate living in Paris and already regarded by many as the most important composer of his generation. This work follows Stravinsky through the remainder of his long life, which he would spend largely in the United States. It also shows his increasingly complex and often agonised family life.
