The Auschwitz Violin - Hardcover

Maria Angels Anglada (1930-99) was one of the most important Catalan figures of the twentieth century and one of its most prestigious and widely read authors. She was the winner of many awards and honors, including the Octavi Pellissa Prize for her book of short stories Nit de 1911.

A simple and moving book, written with crystalline simplicity, intense passion, and lively, stirring humanity. * La Republica * A distressing and thrilling fight to survive thanks to art, music, and the ability of hands and heart. * El Giorno * A masterwork of delicacy. * Elle * A very moving story that is as concerned with the transcendent power of art as it is with the dehumanizing trauma of the Holocaust. Anglada writes with elegance and subtlety, the brevity of the story only adding to its emotional power. * John Boyne, author of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas *
