Title: The Unadulterated Truth
Description: “I am,” writes Emmerich Kálmán in The Unadulterated Truth, “to tell the
story of my life to date—to remember the half century that has rushed past
since I came into this world.” In this memoir, the great operetta composer
relates tales of his youth and career before he moved to Vienna in late 1908. From
his beginnings in the small Hungarian town of Siófok, to his schooling in
Budapest and his first operettas, Kálmán infuses his story with a rich variety
of anecdotes and adds a lengthy postscript about his family, friends, and colleagues. -Amazon
