Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A sumptuous new translation of the sublime novella of desire, obsession, and one man's downfall; another classic from the author of THE MAGIC MOUNTAIN. 'Probably the greatest of modern German novelists.' ? The New York Times One of the pre-eminent works of modern European literature, this enthralling story of desire, beauty and infatuation follows the erudite, respectable writer Gustav Aschenbach's descent into obsession. Aschenbach has always lived a life of structured routine, but he has begun to be troubled by diminishing creative inspiration from his strict writing schedule. While walking in a cemetery north of Munich, he has a dizzying vision which prompts him to abandon his settled life and travel south to Venice. On checking into his hotel, Aschenbach notices a young Polish boy of perfect, sculptural beauty: Tadzio. As he lingers on at the hotel, Aschenbach falls into an ever-deeper infatuation with the youth, whose curled blond hair and porcelain face fill him with rapture, and even seem to cure his stubborn writer's block. Ignoring whispered warnings of a cholera outbreak in Venice, Aschenbach stays at the hotel and follows Tadzio with increasing obsession, his mind swirling with mad desire. Classical in structure yet roiled by disturbing passion, Death in Venice is an enormously powerful story of one man's undoing. Full of coiled tension and vivid inner conflict, it is one of Thomas Mann's greatest masterpieces, and appears here in a lively new translation by Lesley Chamberlain.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 3 of Thomas Mann's most gorgeous, subtle stories of love and conflict, in sparkling new translations, from the author of THE MAGIC MOUNTAIN and DEATH IN VENICE. 'The greatest German novelist of the 20th century.' ? Spectator This triptych of stories represents some of the finest work by the great German master, Thomas Mann. His matchless understanding of character, subtle ironies and layered plots are on full display in these tales of innocence and experience, the pain of individuality and the consolations and limitations of art. 'Tonio Kröger' is a classic story of the artist's formation, infused with profound melancholy. After early, bruising experiences in love, young Tonio retreats into an ideal world of literature, believing that the artist must retain a distance from the lived experience of life. Never quite able to shake his envy of those who seem able to enjoy the moment, the older Tonio returns to his roots in search of resolution. Alongside this great work are 2 stories that dramatize with profound understanding the conflicts and changes of Mann's time. In 'Disorder and Early Sorrow,' the rush of new sexual freedoms upsets the stable order of older generations at a party during a time of social strain, while 'Mario and the Magician' recounts a family's ill-fated holiday in 1920s Italy, where misunderstandings and bizarre performances reveal the sharp edge of nationalist fervor. Translated with luminous clarity by Lesley Chamberlain, Love and Enchantment offers an expansively beautiful selection of the work of one of the world's great writers.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Revelatory and poignant' stories of suppression and freedom, told through the artists trying to make music in the dangerous time of Stalin's purges (The Guardian). 'Krielaars testifies to a deep knowledge of Russia. Told with the voice of a great master' -- Pieter Waterdrinker, author of The Long Song of Tchaikovsky Street 'Highly readable. . . Transport[s] us through a rich mix of anecdotal and historical material' -- Financial Times When Stalin came to power, making music became a dangerous endeavour. Russian composers now had to create work that served the socialist state, and all artistic production was scrutinized for potential subversion and traces of the now-maligned 'formalism.' The Sound of Utopia offers a vivid portrait of Soviet musicians and composers struggling to create art in this climate of terror. Some successfully toed the ideological line, following the whims of the powerful and diluting their work in the process; others ended up facing the Gulag or even death. With pace and verve, Michel Krielaars tells stories of intrigue, betrayal and stunning reversals of fortune, from the gay popular singer arrested at the height of his popularity to the blacklisted composer who wrote his greatest music on scrap paper in a forced labour camp. Featuring fresh perspectives on famous figures such as Sviatoslav Richter and Sergei Prokofiev alongside suppressed and forgotten artists such as Vsevolod Zaderatsy, The Sound of Utopia offers a portrait of the full range of Soviet musical life. Dramatic and immersive, this is a rich exploration of the absurdity and the richness of Soviet musical life--and a tribute to those who crafted sublime melodies under the darkest circumstances. …
