Synopsis
You don't have to be an opera fan to appreciate this beautifully written memoir by world-famous tenor Andrea Bocelli. Born among the vineyards of Tuscany, Bocelli was still an infant when he developed glaucoma. Music filtering into his room soothed the unsettled child. By the age of twelve he was completely blind, but his passion for music brought light back into his life. Here Bocelli reveals the anguish of his blindness and the transcendent experience of singing. He writes about his loving parents, who nurtured his musical interests, the challenges of learning to read music in Braille and of competing in talent shows, his struggles with law school, and his desire to turn an avocation into a way of life. He describes falling in love and singing in piano bars until his big break in 1992, when a stunned Pavarotti heard him sing "Miserere." The international acclaim and success that have followed Bocelli ever since have done nothing to dull his sense of gratitude and wonder about the world. No classical music fan can afford to be without this engaging and humble memoir of a fascinating and triumphant star.

    I bought a hardcover copy of Smoke Bitten. The listing noted that it could be a library copy, and that it would take 5 business days to come. It came in 3 business days (+wknd was 5 days total) in an envelope, and was a library copy. Bc I knew it was a discard, I was anticipating rough condition, but it was in very good condition, with only one small ding on the front cover. For the price I paid, I am very happy with the book and the service. I would buy from this seller again.

  • Thoughtful, well-written, inspiring.

    After seeing Andrea Bocelli in concert and finding there was a movie coming out, I wanted to find out more about his life. This book surprised me as to the depth of this talented individual’s thoughts on life and its challenges. His humility is genuine and inspiring. He has a natural ability as a writer to convey his deep thoughts, his excitement and love of life and the seriousness he brings to his vocal talent.

  • Great story

    I really love & appreciate Andre Bochelli. His story is sensitive, heart-warming & authentic. His respect for his parents & his parents' respect & love for him was very touching.

  • Simple and easy to read

    A book to read if you are a fan of Andrea. It reveals his peculiar way of interpreting things and shows him under a different light when not everything was that easy and shinning.
