PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
A biography of the famed composer, who left his Polish homeland, traveled to Vienna, and then settled for two decades in Paris, where he discovered the emerging Romantic movement. Chopin worked among the minds of Hugo, Lizt and Berlioz, and became involved in a stormy relationship with feminist writer George Sand before succumbing to tuberculosis at the age of 39. Szulc draws from a collection of correspondence and private journals in a book that emphasizes the "times," rather than the music, of Chopin.
