Publisher's Synopsis
In these memoirs, considered to be amongst the best written by any musician, Berlioz provides an illuminating document of his time, while charting the course of his mostly unhappy career with good natured humour.
About the Publisher
The first ten paperback Penguin books appeared in 1935 costing 6d each (the price of a packet of cigarettes). Since then the Penguin list has developed enormously, but still aims to bring the best writing to the widest possible audience. Penguin Paperbacks now range from Booker Prize-winning contemporary authors, to mass market bestsellers, with successful history, biography and general non-fiction as well.
