""This brilliant study explores three versions of the same tale - Saint-Réal's, Schiller's, and Verdi's - and traces the implications of when and where each was written. A necessary and fascinating treatment of an irresistible tale filled with courtly intrigue, jealousy, treason, and murder."" -- André Aciman, Distinguished Professor at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York and critically acclaimed novelist and author of Call Me by Your Name (now a prize-winning film), Find Me, Enigma Variations, and more. ""A must-read for theatre historians and music lovers, and for all who are interested in this unique, enigmatic historical figure's life and death. This is the definitive work on Don Carlos.""-- Paolo Fasoli, Associate Professor of Italian and Comparative Literature, Hunter College and The Graduate Center, CUNY ""Maria-Cristina Necula offers us a fascinating and engaging work that probes several interconnected mysteries deeply and broadly around the mystery surrounding the discrepancies in the reports of the death of Don Carlos, Infante of Spain."" -- Hugh Murphy, Professor of Music at Purchase College, SUNY, and recipient of the American Prize in Conducting
