Winner of the Mavis Gallant Prize for Nonfiction and the McAuslan First Book Prize, The Cello Suites weaves together three dramatic narratives: the disappearance of Bach's manuscript in the 18th century; Pablo Casals's discovery and popularization of the music in Spain in the late-19th century; and Siblin's infatuation with the suites in the present day. The search led Siblin to Barcelona, where Casals, just 13 and in possession of his first cello, roamed the backstreets with his father in search of sheet music and found Bach's lost suites tucked in a dark corner of a store. Casals played them every day for 12 years before finally performing them in public. ![]() The Book of Greek and Roman Folktales, Legends, and Myths (Audiobook) English | ASIN: B0BVGQHNXL | 2023 | 16 hours and 26 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 472 MB Author: William Hansen Narrator: Kristin Atherton The first anthology ever to present the entire range of ancient Greek and Roman stories-from myths and fairy tales to jokes.
