520 . ‡a"Part cultural history, part biography, this is the fascinating story of Richard Wagner's life, influences, gift for storytelling, and artistic revolution, culminating in his dramatic journey to write The Ring Cycle. The Ring Cycle is one of the most epic and compelling operas of the nineteenth century, created by a composer who was, alongside Dickens, Tolstoy, and Victor Hugo, also one of the century's master storytellers. But the story of how Richard Wagner created the work is one full of intrigue and triumphs against unlikely odds--as well as controversy, due to the composer's anti-semitic views and popularity with the Nazi party. In Wagner and the Creation of the Ring, Michael Downes combines cultural history and biography to recount the colorful, fascinating, and insightful journey behind the creation of The Ring and its mythology. He tells the story of how and why this extraordinary masterpiece came into being, why it takes the form it does, why it fascinates and obsesses so many--and horrifies others--and why it still matters today."
