Description: Building Your Great Collection; One Fine Book at a TimeThe Lyre of OrpheusDavies, Robertson New York: Viking Press, 1989 Fine in a Near-Fine Dust jacket. Only flaw is price-clip and light age-spotting on the top edge. GIFTABLE. First US Trade Edition Fine / Fine. Fine Hardcover in a Fine Dust Jacket. The conclusion to the trilogy that began with The Rebel Angels and continued in the bestselling What's Bred in the Bone. The third volume of the Cornish trilogy has less mystery and suspense than The Rebel Angels and What's Bred in the Bone. This is a deeper, more thoughtful and old-fashioned book, somewhat padded with leisurely asides, snippets of poetry and observations on the subject of artistic creativity. The plot revolves around a production of an unfinished opera by the 19th century composer E.T.A. Hoffmann, whose entreaty "Let the lyre of Orpheus open the door of the underworld of feeling" is borne out on many levels. And Check out our other items!
