Sobre IBD

El Duro Trato describe con gran detalle y con una prosa elegante el conflicto de voluntades entre un padre famoso y su ambicioso hijo mediano. Richard Tucker, el estelar tenor estadounidense de la época dorada del Metropolitan Opera, exigía que su hijo se convirtiera en cirujano. Rechazando los deseos de su padre, David quería seguir los pasos de este hacia el escenario de la ópera. Su batalla sobre el futuro de David - por turnos hilarante y humillante, sabio y adorable - se juega en espacios médicos y musicales por todo el mundo. El padre y el hijo hacen un trato, el duro trato del título, el cual permite que ambos sueños centelleen durante una década hasta que uno (resulta que el correcto) estalla en llamas que se mantienen. Esta sincera autobiografía sobre la batalla de un hijo contra el poder amenazante de un padre magnético se transmite a través de una narrativa emotiva que un crítico ha llamado 'la exploración más dramática de la vida privada de un cantante legendario en la historia de la literatura de la ópera'.Para más información sobre el libro, visite el sitio web: www.eldurotrato.com
