"The incredible story of the Auschwitz-Birkenau tattooist and the woman he loved. Lale Sokolov is well-dressed, a charmer, a ladies' man. He is also a Jew. On the first transport from Slovakia to Auschwitz in 1942, Lale immediately stands out to his fellow prisoners. In the camp, he is looked up to, looked out for, and put to work in the privileged position of Tätowierer- the tattooist - to mark his fellow prisoners, forever. One of them is a young woman, Gita, who steals his heart at first glance. His life given new purpose, Lale does his best through the struggle and suffering to use his position for good. This story, full of beauty and hope, is based on years of interviews author Heather Morris conducted with real-life Holocaust survivor and Auschwitz-Birkenau tattooist Ludwig (Lale) Sokolov. It is heart-wrenching, illuminating, and unforgettable."--Publisher

Priča o Vivaldiju donosi priču o Adrijani d’Amato, mladoj Venecijanki osamnaestog veka koja obožava muziku, ali joj otac, strogi trgovac, zabranjuje da se bavi violinom. Unatoč tome, Adrijana se potajno sastaje s virtuoznim kompozitorom Antonijom Vivaldijem kako bi učila svirati. Njihov odnos se razvija iz učeničke veze u strastvenu ljubav, ali se suočavaju s brojnim preprekama. Adrijanin otac planira da je uda za bogatog plemića, dok se pojavljuje i privlačan udvarač, što dodatno komplikuje situaciju. Vivaldi, kao sveštenik, suočava se s društvenim i crkvenim pravilima koja zabranjuju njihovu ljubav. Oboje su svesni da će se njihova veza završiti nakon njene udaje, ali ne mogu predvideti okolnosti koje će natjerati Vivaldija da bira između ljubavi i muzike. Ovaj roman obuhvata više od trideset godina Adrijaninog života, istražujući teme strasti, muzike, ambicije i snage da se nastavi dalje nakon gubitka ljubavi. Čitaoci će uživati u bogatom prikazu zabranjene strasti i melodija koje prožimaju priču.
