I found this book (titled "Scherzo Capriccioso" in the original Czech after one of Dvořák's most enchanting pieces) to be a magical recreation of late-19th century America (the object of Dvořák's affection). You get to meet the great man and see what inspired him. I feel that anyone who loves Dvořák (which means anyone who loves beautiful music) should read this book. (
