Autor

Felix Stone Moscheles (1833-1917) was an English painter, peace activist, and author, known for his involvement in the early international peace movements and for his artistic contributions, which reflect the Victorian era's cultural and social milieu. His literary oeuvre includes 'Fragments of an Autobiography' (1899), a work that offers an intimate glimpse into his life, social circles, and the illustrious figures of his time, framed by his personal experiences and observations. Moscheles was born into a family enriched with musical legacy, being the son of the composer and pianist Ignaz Moscheles. This backdrop of art and culture pervaded his upbringing and influenced his multifaceted career encompassing art, music, and literature. His literary style in 'Fragments of an Autobiography' often intertwines narrative with musing, laid out in an anecdotal fashion that captures the essence of the era's charm and the intellectual spirit. His work not only serves as a personal memoir but also as a historical record of a bygone period, documenting the zeitgeist through the lens of an individual who straddled the worlds of creativity and activism.
