The letters in this book are grouped according to the operas to which they refer, each section prefaced by an account by Giuseppi Adami of the vicissitudes of that opera. To lovers of music, they will be particularly interesting, as they throw valuable light on Puccini's success and popularity, not so easily won as many have imagined. In addition, these letters show the personality of the man, his family life, his love of sport, his swift changes from joy to gloom, his shattering disappointment at failure, his frank enjoyment of success.
