My hope is to draw a portrait of the artist and the man: singer, patriot, musician, talker, mimic, Count of the Holy Roman Empire, an Irishman With a rough side to his tongue as well as a smooth, and With vitality enough to make enemiesas well as friends: To this end I have Wherever possible let him speak in his own words. The audiences that ¿ocked to him all over the world came to hear his voice, and they shall hear it often in these pages. I provide the recitative, he sings the aria.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
