Paperback. A fascinating graphic novel-style introduction to the classical composer everyone has heard of - and few truly understand Series: Introducing.. Num Pages: 176 pages, black & white illustrations. BIC Classification: AVGC5; AVGC9; AVH. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 173 x 119 x 13. Weight in Grams: 156.
Wagner's operatic works rank with the supreme achievements of western culture. But acceptance of Wagner's musical genius is tempered by feelings of misgiving and many believe the composer's underlying ideas to be indefensible. A self-styled social revolutionary, Wagner thought the world could be redeemed through vegetarianism and Aryan philosophy.
Introducing Wagner: A Graphic Guide separates the composer's art from the ideas and the arrogant destructive personal behaviour of the man.
