Pierre La Mure – Beyond Desire (Arzunun Ötesi) – Türkiye Yayınevi 1960 First Edition

Description:

This is the 1960 first Turkish edition of Beyond Desire (Arzunun Ötesi) by Pierre La Mure, published by Türkiye Yayınevi. The novel was originally published in 1955 and is a fictionalized biography based on the lives of composer Felix Mendelssohn and his wife Cécile.

The novel follows Felix Mendelssohn through his extraordinary musical career, romantic relationships, marriage to Cécile Jeanrenaud, and his deep devotion to the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. The story also brings figures such as Frédéric Chopin and George Sand into its historical and artistic world.

Beyond Desire combines romance, historical fiction, and the world of classical music. At its heart is the tension between Mendelssohn's personal relationships and his overwhelming dedication to music, particularly his efforts to restore Bach's works to wider recognition.

This copy is especially attractive to collectors as a 1960 first Turkish edition, presented in hardcover with its original dust jacket.
