Life Of Beethoven
By Alexander Thayer
Published by The Folio Society: London 2001

"A beautifully presented Folio Society edition of Life of Beethoven by Alexander Thayer, revised by Elliot Forbes and edited with an introduction by Ian Curteis. First published in 1964 by Princeton University Press, this authoritative biography is widely regarded as the most definitive study of Ludwig van Beethoven's life and works. This Folio Society edition, published in 2001, includes detailed insight into Beethoven's creative genius, personal struggles, friendships, and the broader cultural context of 18th- and 19th-century Europe. Richly illustrated with portraits, manuscript facsimiles, and contextual engravings, the book captures both the humanity and brilliance of one of history's greatest composers.

Beautifully bound in two-tone quarter cloth with gilt spine lettering, featuring a portrait of Beethoven on the front cover and housed in a sturdy brown slipcase. Printed on high-quality paper at St Edmundsbury Press and bound by Cambridge University Press, this is a premium collector's edition that reflects The Folio Society's renowned craftsmanship."

Includes sleeve. A little bit grubby on text block edge with couple of marks on back cover. Otherwise a nice clean copy in very good condition overall. Please study photos to further understand condition.
