About this book

This is the new edition (2011, 1359 pp., ill. ISBN: 2-909366-16-2) recast and expanded of the first part of "Enrico Caruso. L'homme et l'artiste". This book is crammed with a lot of new facts, pictures, reviews, that cannot be found in other books on the same tenor. It also takes the historical and social background into account. From the artistic point of view, a lot of other lyric artists are also cited, and long-forgotten verist operas are quoted, and explained if Caruso sang in them. Legends are debunked so that tenor Caruso can be seen in a new light. This book is also published on line. Site: http://enrico-caruso.dyndns.org/
