Product description

Paulo Levi is a world-famous violinist, but he will never play Mozart. Why? When Lesley travels to Venice to interview him, she learns the heartbreaking answer. For the first time in his life, Paulo tells the terrible story of how his parents, imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp, were forced to play Mozart for the enemy – playing for their lives as fellow Jews were sent to their deaths. Can answering the Mozart Question offer healing at long last?

Michael Morpurgo is a master storyteller, weaving captivating stories full of drama and intensity that are coming to be regarded as true classics. Exploring the most profound subjects with a light yet powerful touch, his books tell unforgettable stories in simple, direct words.

Michael Morpurgo discovered his talent for writing while working as a teacher. “We had to read the children a story every day and my lot were bored by the book I was reading. I decided I had to do something and told them the kind of story I used to tell my kids – it was like a soap opera, and they focused on it. I could see there was magic in it for them, and realised there was magic in it for me.”

Living in Devon, listening to Mozart, and working with children have provided most of the stimulae Michael needs to discover and write his stories. He spends about half his life mucking out sheds with the children, feeding sheep or milking cows; the other half he spends dreaming up and writing stories. “For me, the greater part of writing is daydreaming, dreaming the dream of my story until it hatches out – the writing down of it I always find hard. But I love finishing it, then holding the book in my hand and sharing my dream with my readers.”

    This is an excellent book. Michael Morpurgo makes you believe that this is a ‘musical’ story, however, you realise that it is based on WWII! This is the best book, which I have ever read and I would give it 10/10 every time!
