Caruso's career was astonishing by any standard. One of twenty-one children, he was born in squalid poverty. His success was spectacular, and the time came when kings and emporers courted him. He commanded vast fees, and was adored by millions. He knew 64 operas by heart and spoke seven languages, including a delightful fractured English, but never read a book. His career was jam-packed with drama, personalities, and anecdotes. This biography shows him with and without his make-up.
