Abstract to the book "Only one Music" by Seth V.: The modern classic Vikram Seth is a real citizen of the world. Born in India, he studied at Oxford, as well as at Stanford University in California, where, instead of a dissertation on economics, he wrote his first novel, Golden Gate, about American Yuppies — and it was a novel in verse; moreover, written from beginning to end in Onegin stanza. Then, after many years of work, Seth published the epic "The Worthy Bridegroom", a record in many respects: the longest novel in the history of English literature, which could be published in one volume; translations into three dozen languages and a worldwide circulation of 26 million copies. And "The Worthy Groom" was again followed by a step in the most unexpected direction — "Only one music": "a narrative of the highest emotional intensity" (Economist), "the best novel dedicated to music in all English literature" (Daily Telegraph), "a genuine masterpiece" (Daily Mail). So, one day violinist Michael Holm, a member of the successful "Maggiore" quartet, meets his old love, pianist Julia McNicoll, on a London bus — and the old passion flares up with renewed vigor. Music sometimes brings them together, sometimes separates them, but Julia hides a secret that will turn their whole world upside down... "A love story full of suspense, tragic secrets and precious fleeting meetings on Vienna trains and Venetian canals" (USA Today).For the first time in Russian! Read more…
