The Lyre of Orpheus
The Cornish Trilogy · Book 3Description
In this captivating novel, the third installment of the acclaimed Cornish trilogy, Robertson Davies delves into the enigmatic world of artistic creation and deception. The narrative unfolds through two intertwined plotlines: the ambitious production of an unfinished opera attributed to the visionary E.T.A. Hoffmann, and the startling revelation of a celebrated art collector's audacious forgery. Davies masterfully explores the profound mysteries of art, ambition, and the very essence of genius, weaving a rich tapestry of intellectual intrigue and human folly. This fable-like story invites readers to ponder the nature of authenticity and the enduring power of creative expression.
