Guide to the Orchestra and Its Backstreets

This book talks about the symphony orchestra and how it is structured, about musical instruments and the people who play them. And about those who do not play them, too. By the way, don't be fooled by the outwardly good-natured title of the book. This is a real thriller. It tells about how veins are pulled, tails are tugged, skins are stretched over cauldrons, and children are tortured. Adults too. Therefore, the book is packed to the brim with scenes of violence. Which in no way excludes conversations about the spiritual. And that is frightening in itself. But the most terrifying thing is that the book is absolutely true. All life experience unequivocally and uncompromisingly says that the more accurately life is portrayed in a book, the funnier that book is. I promise you the truth of life.
