Don`t care about ecology? This book is for you. Morton sets out to show us that whether we know it or not, we already have the capacity & the will to change the way we understand the place of humans in the world, & our very understanding of the term `ecology`. A cross-disciplinarian who has collaborated with everyone from Björk to Hans Ulrich Obrist, Morton is also a member of the object-oriented philosophy movement, a group of forward-looking thinkers who are grappling with modern-day notions of subjectivity & objectivity, while also offering fascinating new understandings of Heidegger & Kant. Calling the volume a book containing `no ecological facts`, Morton confronts the `information dump` fatigue of the digital age, & offers an invigorated approach to creating a liveable future. ...

Simon Callow plunges headlong into Wagner`s world to discover what it was like to be Wagner, & to be around one of music`s most influential figures. A hundred & thirty-five years after his death, Richard Wagner`s music dramas stand at the centre of the culture of classical music. They have never been more popular, nor so violently controversial & divisive. His music is still banned in Israel
- the only classical composer whose music is banned in the western world. His ten great mature masterpieces constitute an unmatched body of work, created against a backdrop of poverty, revolution, violent controversy, critical contempt & hysterical hero-worship. As a man, he was a walking contradiction, aggressive, flirtatious, disciplined, capricious, heroic, visionary & poisonously anti-Semitic. At one point, he had four lengthy operas written with no hope of being performed when, as if in a fairy-tale, he was rescued by a beautiful young king with limitless wealth which he bestowed on the composer. When one of those works, Tristan & Isolde, was at last performed, it revolutionised classical music at a stroke. Finally he fulfilled his lifelong dream of creating a vast epic to rival the work of the great Greek playwrights, a music drama in four massive segments, ushering gods & dwarves, heroes & thugs, dragons & rainbows onto the stage, the apotheosis of German art as he saw it, so extreme in its demands that he had to train a generation of singers & players to perform it, & erect a custom-built theatre to house it. Wagner died, exhausted, after creating one final piece
- Parsifal
- that seems to point to an even more radical new future for music. Simon Callow recalls the intellectual & artistic climate in which Wagner worked, recording the almost superhuman effort required to create his work, & evoking the extraordinary effect he had on people
- this composer like no other who ever lived, extreme in everything, creator of the most sublime & most troubling body of work ever known.
