From dust jacket: Mozart's librettist, friend and libertine comrade of Casanova, poet to His Imperial and Royal Majesty, Joseph of Hapsburg, banished refugee from many capitals of Europe, founder of the Italian Opera House in New York -- Lorenzo Da Ponte was a man of diverse talents and rare vitality. Born in Italy in 1749, he spent the last thirty years of his life in nineteenth century New York, as a distiller, bookseller and first Professor of Italian Literature at Columbia University. An adventurer, perhaps a rogue, Da Ponte is nevertheless a gifted representative of an extraordinary period of history. These memoirs, written in Italian and first published in New York, have long been unavailable in English. Sometimes ribald, often incredible, they are always imbued with a joy of living which makes them delightful to read. Their appearance is of importance to musicians, historians, and all those interested in the robust life of a romantic age. In addition to the famous Arthur Livingston notes and a lively preface by Professor Thomas G. Bergin of Yale University, the volume is richly illustrated with prints documenting the life of this remarkable man. Performing Arts, Music, New York, Biography, Culture bslic.
