A propos de cet article

PROTEAN: VERTIGINOUSLY DRAMATIC: INTIMATE: TERRIFYING: COLLECTIBLE: RARE: INDISPENSABLE: COMPLETE, DETAILED, UNSURPASSED * HIGHEST PRAISE: "A Genuine publishing event . a historical document of unsurpassed interest." -TLS. "Perhaps the most complete & detailed account of the life of a working artist that musical literature provides." -Gordon A Craig. "These volumes 'humanize' both their writer & their hero, humanize them not in the sense of making them congenial, but by grounding them in their deepest, often unconscious experiences & terrifying conflicts. This diary will prove a treasure for the musicologist, the biographer, the cultural historian--& the pathologist." -Peter Gay * NEW: COMPLETE (Two-Volume Set, Boxed): Wagner, Cosima: COSIMA WAGNER'S DIARIES: Volume I: 1869-1877 & Volume II: 1878-1883; Edited & Annotated by Martin Gregor-Dellin & Dietrich Mack; Translated w/ An Introduction & Afterword by Geoffrey Skelton * BOTH volumes w/ NEW handsomely-designed durable "gold-foil" jackets on heavy stock w/ sharp NEW edges & corners &* unclipped flyleaves showing orig. $24.95 prepublication prices of $24.95 (to December 31, 1978, thereafter $29.95)), BOTH volumes w/ library-durable mauve-brown linen-over-boards covers w/ sharp NEW edges & corners & titles handsomely gold-stamped on spines, BOTH volumes w/ IMPECCABLE smooth-cut text-block exteriors, BOTH volumes w/ NEW perfect bindings w/ tight sheets & maroon-white-checked cloth bands at spine-caps, BOTH volumes w/ bright-white card-stock end-papers, BOTH volumes w/ PRISITNE interiors printed w/ the greatest ELEGANCE, CARE, & CLARITY on EXCELLENT unblemished archival paper, the two-volumes protectively housed in a FINE slipcase marred only by some slight scuffing of its bottom edge & the faintest touch of slightest wear (no bumping or bruising) of its rear corners * Volume I:1869-1877 (0151226350): 6.24" x 9.48" x 2.36", 1.84 kg, 1,200 pp; Volume II: 1878-1883 (0151226350): 6.24" x 9.48" x 2.36", 1.84 kg, 1,200 pp; The Compete Set, Slip-cased: 6.34" x 9.86" x 5.00", 4.02 kg, 2,400 pp * ABOUT THE BOOKS: In the words of George Steiner writing for The Sunday Times: "The publication of the diaries of Cosima Wagner is a major event. We have copious journals kept by artists about their own works and days (Virgina Woolf, for example). We have letters such as those by Van Gogh in which an artist pours out the inmost of his existence. But we have no day-to-day intimate record of the life of a master of Wagner's stature during a period of creation at all comparable to Cosima's. This is, therefore, a document of intrinsic fascination, & a treasure-trove for anyone interested in Wagner, in the psychology of great artists, in the history of music, in the course of European social & political history during the latter 19th century. It is no overstatement whatever to say that it will take a generation of close reading before the wealth of material in this diary, & the historical & psychological issues it raises, are absorbed. Life crowds in on us from these pages, under pressure of genius. It is a banner year for the exact remembrance of great things past." The POSTSCRIPT by Geoffrey Skelton gives the medical details of Wagner's death & a brief report on Cosima's reaction to her loss, since her diary entries stop w/ the day of Richard Wagner's death, never to be resumed. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this superb 2-volume boxed set for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & (due its weight) via MANDATORY USPS INTERNATIONAL PRIORITY AIRMAIL to international destinations at below-cost rates quoted on request. …
