Summary: "Far-away Stories" by William John Locke is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The book unveils a tapestry of tales that transport readers to distant times and places, evoking nostalgia and adventure. In the opening story, "The Song of Life," the central figure is Angelo Fardetti, an aging musician who grapples with the heartache of unfulfilled dreams and the blessing of teaching a promising young composer, Geoffrey Chase. At the start of the book, the narrative introduces Angelo Fardetti, a tall, thin Italian musician living a humble life. Despite his deep yearning to create music and a history of talent, he has not been able to achieve the greatness he dreams of. The story unfolds as he mentors Geoffrey, who shows immense potential and passion for music, thereby igniting in Angelo a sense of purpose and hope. Yet, as Geoffrey finds success, a poignant sense of loss settles into Angelo's heart, setting the stage for a powerful exploration of legacy, love, and the bittersweet nature of artistry.
