The Mozart Myths: A Critical Reassessment
ISBN: 9780804722223 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 294 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This book is an ambitious attempt to separate what is actually known (and can be known) about Mozart from the many myths and legends that have grown up about his life, character, and death. It subjects individual myths to critical and scholarly scrutiny--weighing the evidence on which it is based, and critically assessing the reliability of that evidence. The author first considers the question of Mozart's death in 1791 at the age of 35, a subject that intrigued his contemporaries and has continued to fascinate posterity. No other aspect of Mozart's life has engendered so many dramatic and...

Though his work has always inspired controversy, he was widely admired by students and poetry lovers as well as his own...

Every War Has Two Losers: William Stafford on Peace and War
ISBN: 9781571312730 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Born the year World War I began, acclaimed poet William Stafford (1914-1993) spent World War II in a camp for conscientious objectors. Throughout a century of conflict he remained convinced that wars simply don't work. In his writings, Stafford showed it is possible--and crucial--to think independently when fanatics act, and to speak for reconciliation when nations take sides. He believed it was a failure of imagination to only see two options: to fight or to run away. This book gathers the evidence of a lifetime's commitment to nonviolence, including an account of Stafford's near-hanging...
