The first full biography of one of the greatest figures of eighteenthcentury Europe, known in his time as the Black MozartVirtually forgotten until now, his life is the stuff of legend. Born in 1739 in Guadeloupe to a slave mother and a French noble father, he became the finest swordsman of his age, an insider at the doomed court of Louis XVI, and, most of all, a virtuosic musician. A violinist, he directed the Olympic Society of Concerts, which was considered the finest in Europe in an age of great musicians, including Haydn, from whom he commissioned a symphony, and Mozart, to whom he was often compared. He also became the first Freemason of color, embracing the French Revolution with the belief that it would end the racism against whichdespite his illustrious achievementshe struggled his whole life. This is the life of Joseph Bologne, known variously as Monsieur de SaintGeorge, the Black Mozart, and, because of his origins, the American. Alain Gud offers a fascinating account of this extraordinary individual, whose musical compositions are at long last being revived and whose story will never again be forgotten.

The concept of this book is fantastic, and it sheds light on a lesser-known figure in history. However, I found some parts dragged on a bit. Still, the writing style is engaging, and I learned a lot about Saint-George's contributions.

Incredible story of bravery
I picked up this book about Monsieur de Saint-George for my dad, who's a big history buff. The way it captures his life as a swordsman and revolutionary is just amazing. The details really bring his character to life, and it’s a fascinating read!
