Anthony Burgess

Tiraillé toute sa vie entre le désir de devenir un musicien de notoriété publique et son travail acharné d'auteur, Anthony Burgess avouera souhaiter que l'on se souvienne de lui comme un musicien qui écrit des livres plutôt qu'un écrivain qui compose de la musique. Cet ouvrage bilingue présente une sélection de chansons que Burgess composa à partir de poèmes de Shakespeare, Hardy, Joyce et Lawrence.

Torn all his life between his desire to become a recognized musician and his relentless work as an author, it was as a musician who wrote books that Anthony Burgess wished to be remembered rather than as a writer who composed music. This bilingual book presents a selection of songs composed by Burgess from poems by Shakespeare, Hardy, Joyce and Lawrence.
