{"product_id":"2940016312842","title":"Out of the Past","description":"According to “New York Times” articles, the author, Eleanor Hooper Coryell, was a violinist and lecturer.  In “Out of the Past” she brings her art to the forefront.  Both main characters are virtuoso violinists and her descriptions of how and what they play are exceptionally insightful.  The bittersweet story follows Robert Dinsmore who was raised by nuns and monks after his mother died in childbirth and there was no information as to whom or where his father was.  This is a great trial to Robert and the story is a tale of how he fights the demons he associates with his situation, especially the possibility of being illegitimate at a time when that was a stain against the child.  This concept runs through the story and encompasses both Robert and the woman he eventually loves, Rose Lloyd.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis eBook edition was carefully prepared by referring to an original text to correct scanning errors that are common in other versions.

He cared nothing for its dictum to begin with. He was playing to Rose, and spreading before her keen appreciation every shade of art he possessed. The impetuosity of the first movement in the concerto he played was for her; the delicacy of treatment and tenderness of feeling in his adagio were for her; the elan and the magnificent breadth with which he delivered the finale sought her as their goal. The incense of a hidden love theme floated over the throng, hidden as well to him as to her.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe throng knew none of it. Each took to himself after his nature such beauty as compelled him, and every individual realized that a star was rising in the morning of its glory and drank the freshness of its dawn in deep silence.","brand":"Snazz eBooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47101333373168,"sku":"2940016312842","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940016312842_p0.jpg?v=1763632803","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940016312842","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
