THREE names that the whole world holds enshrined in the immortal galleries of the great-Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Beethoven - Ludwig selects as the subjects of these masterful pieces. Three biographies in one priceless volume! Here is contained all that is essential in the lives of these movers of the world's destiny, creators of some of its noblest art.
Seldom has Ludwig treated his protagonists with more powerful drama and sympathy than in these life portraits.
"I doubt that the art and destiny of these three masters," says the Literary Editor of the Leipziger Rundbunk, "has anywhere been so simply, so directly, and so impressively sketched as in this book which surpasses all other technical works and single biographies because it re-creates in animated reality the impenetrable mystery of the living and the creating of three great men of the past."
