Corinna da Fonseca-Wollheim, The New York Times Book Review

A landmark biography of the Polish composer by a leading authority on Chopin and his time

Based on ten years of research and a vast cache of primary sources located in archives in Warsaw, Paris, London, New York, and Washington, D.C., Alan Walker's monumental Fryderyk Chopin: A Life and Times is the most comprehensive biography of the great Polish composer to appear in English in more than a century. Walker's work is a corrective biography, intended to dispel the many myths and legends that continue to surround Chopin. Fryderyk Chopin is an intimate look into a dramatic life; of particular focus are Chopin's childhood and youth in Poland, which are brought into line with the latest scholarly findings, and Chopin's romantic life with George Sand, with whom he lived for nine years.

Comprehensive and engaging, and written in highly readable prose, the biography wears its scholarship lightly: this is a book suited as much for the professional pianist as it is for the casual music lover. Just as he did in his definitive biography of Liszt, Walker illuminates Chopin and his music with unprecedented clarity in this magisterial biography, bringing to life one of the nineteenth century's most confounding, beloved, and legendary artists.

Small touch, Big in Style
Color: Gray
Perfect size for a cup of tea/coffee or a glass of wine on the side Also great for placing a piece of jewelry or anything else you want close by your bedside I like the oval shape better than a rectangle one and the quality of material is top notch, not to speak of how strong it is…a really good buy for us!

Durable Valet Tray
Color: Black, Color: Black
LOVE this leather valet tray. It’s a very well structured piece that seems like it’ll last. The leather looks flawless and is rather durable. I couldn’t be happier to finally have a place for my husband to drop all of his stuff from his pockets when he gets home from work.

Understated valet tray
Color: Gray, Color: Gray
I like the clean lines and simple shape and the unobtrusive stitching. I'm not crazy about the seam of where the sides of the tray meet, but if the tray is filled, it's not as noticeable. It's a nice catch-all to keep my desk clutter-free!
