...Book* aims, like Andre Maurois' Ariel, and by the same means, to give genius a human shape. In a theatrical but none the less effective style it outlines the life of a delicate young man of extreme refinement, attending rather to the dates on which he commenced his amours than to those on which he composed his mazurkas.
