Sure to be a favorite of violinists and luthiers, a sweet tale of old Venice, music and passion. ( ) A lightweight novella set during the Napoleonic wars, this is the story of a talented musician and his unexpected friendship with a master violin-maker during the occupation of Venice. It left me absolutely cold - there was neither characterisation nor plot, making it difficult to care about any of it, and either the writing or the translation was in such simplistic language that it read like a children's book. The story-within-the-story of the creation of the black violin began with promise, but also petered out. Unsatisfying all round. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

There were many musical souls adrift on that raft of silence that is Venice. There was the music of Johannes Karelsky.There was the music of Erasmus, the violin maker. And there was the music of war. But of that, the two men never spoke. From the internationally acclaimed author of Snow comes a timeless tale of love and music set against the romantic backdrop of eighteenth-century Venice. In 1797, the violin prodigy Johannes Karelsky arrives in Venice after fighting with Napoleon's army in the Italian campaign. After the war, he boards with an aged violin maker named Erasmus who created the legendary Black Violin, which he forbids Johannes to touch because, as he says, Once you have tasted it, you will never be the same again. Johannes becomes obsessed with the idea of playing this violin as well as finding the woman who saved his life when he was injured in battle. Beautifully written and highly evocative, The Black Violin interweaves Johannes's quest for love and the history of this mysterious instrument in a narrative that is sure to resonate long after the last page is turned."
