Otakar Dvorak's book about his father can be recommended especially to those readers who love Dvorak's music, but who do not propse to study this music professionally. The merit of this book is that we can see this great composer as a human being, a very noble-hearted man who was modest, religious, and humble, and who was in love with nature and his family. --PhDr. Milan Kuna, CSc, Editor in Chief, Antonin Dvorak's Correspondence, Prague, Czech Republic
