What's more, she declares that Chopin has dictated dozens of compositions to her, to allow the world to hear the sublime music he was unable to create in his own short life. Many dismiss her story as a ridiculous hoax, while others swear that the music has the same beauty and refinement as the work of the dead master. Ludvik Slany, a secret police agent-turned-television journalist, is assigned to make a documentary debunking Vera's claims. He arrives in Prague ready to uncover a scam, but the more he subtly tries to trick her into giving herself away, the more he begins to think he may be witnessing a genuine miracle. 500 $a "In association with Walter Presents." 546 $a Translated from French. 600 10 $a Chopin, FreÌdeÌric, $d 1810-1849 $c (Spirit) $v Fiction. 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 651 0 $a Prague (Czech Republic) $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 651 7 $a Czech Republic $z Prague. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205207 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Taylor, Sam, $d 1970- $e translator. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117015453.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220303011131.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A8DE7554323411EC8B1165C359ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
