<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"The King and I" is the story of the 36-year business relationship between Luciano Pavarotti and his manager Breslin, during which Breslin guided what he calls, justifiably, "the greatest career in classical music."<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Now in paperback, the scandalous international sensation: brash, candid, and utterly hilarious, Luciano Pavarotti's longtime manager tells all.<b><br></b><br>The name "Luciano Pavarotti" is as central to the world of opera as high C's and dueling sopranos.

In <i>The King and I</i>, Herbert Breslin, Pavarotti's publicist, manager, and friend for thirty-six years, reveals, in a fashion that is witty and bitingly frank, the truth about that white-hot career in all its delicious grandeur. Full of jaw-dropping anecdotes about the most famous divas and disputes of the past three decades, <i>The King and I</i> even features an afterword by the famed tenor himself.
