Una musica costante

£2.99

About this item

Italian translation from English of "An equal music" by Vikram Seth, who has lived and studied in India, the UK and the USA. He tends to model his narratives around real people's lives. Michael, a professional violinist, has never forgotten his love for Julia, a pianist he met 10 years ago when he was a student in Vienna. When they meet again by chance they conduct a secret affair, although she is now married and has a child. Interwoven amongst the narrative is a great insight into what musicians and composers really go through. Paolo Isotta, the famous music critic, wrote in the Corriere della Sera after reading this same translation of the work that no European novel until now had ever managed to convey the psychology, technical abilities or even the human potentialities of those who practise music for a living. A touching and unforgettable love story.

Oxfam Bookshop St Albans

Oxfam is the UK's largest second hand bookseller, but it doesn't stop there. We sell a great range of donated music as well. Whether it's vintage LPs or the latest modern fiction you want, we're well worth a look! We also sell greetings cards for every occasion. And of course we have some great stock for sale on Oxfam's Online Shop, too. Call us to find out more.

Could you help us by collecting donations from donors homes? Our shop receives many offers of generous donations that we have to turn down as we do not have volunteers able to collect. We would ask you to collect in your own car, at your convenience and reimburse your petrol costs. It might be a couple of times a month and would make a really big difference to our ability to make money.
