Another Project Gutenberg book is a short biography and critical appraisal of Puccini,
written around the time of Madame Butterfly's premiere. It's after Boheme,
Manon Lescaut and Tosca, but before Turandot, of course. Puccini was certainly
a man of his kind, and unapologetic to boot. Attitudes towards music and
especially towards things people are unfamiliar with never fail to amaze.
