Art and Politics
ISBN: 9780803297746 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 415 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A master of mystery and paradox, Wagner spent his life composing himself while composing music. Written between 1864 and 1878, the essays in Art and Politics converge upon Wagner's desire to define and reform German culture.

He was clad in somewhat untidy houseclothes, with a red woolen scarf wrapped round his waist; long, bushy grey hair hung in disorder from his head, and his gloomy, forbidding expression by no means tended to reassure. . . ."
