Translated from the German by Ralph Manheim. 304 pages. hardcover. keywords: Caribbean Haiti Germany Literature Translated World Literature. DESCRIPTION - A sparkling first novel set against the background of turbulent Haiti. This is the fascinating story of a French officer sent to Haiti by Napoleon to arrest Toussaint L'Ouverture, the leader of a slave revolt. It is also a historically documented account of a quarrel between Haitian police and a German colonist that escalates into a grotesque diplomatic incident. And it is a brilliant story about the author's grandfather - a pharmacist who emigrated to Haiti in 1899 - and his family; his wife, Pauline, who is first restored to health and then mysteriously undone by voodoo magic; Aunt Toni, whose engagement to a German officer triggers a political scandal; Uncle G., who bombs the presidential palace and then disappears with his plane into the Bermuda Triangle, never to be heard from again. These fantastic tales one and all merge seamlessly into an exotic, outrageous, witty reality and a beguiling family saga. inventory #31083 Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket.

Comes with archival-quality mylar dust jacket protector. Octavo, 327 pages including index. Translated from the French by Richard Miller. A cultural and political study examining how Beethoven's Ninth Symphony has been interpreted and appropriated from its 1824 premiere through two centuries of political and ideological change. Esteban Buch is an Argentine musicologist and professor at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris. This is his first book translated into English.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Who hasn't been stirred by the strains of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony? That's a good question, claims Esteban Buch. German nationalists and French republicans, communists and Catholics have all, in the course of history, embraced the piece. It was performed under the direction of Leonard Bernstein at a concert to mark the fall of the Berlin Wall, yet it also serves as a ghastly and ironic leitmotif in Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange. Hitler celebrated his birthdays with it, and the government of Rhodesia made it their anthem. And played in German concentration camps by the imprisoned, it also figured prominently at Mitterand's 1981 investiture. In his remarkable history of one of the most popular symphonic works of the modern period, Buch traces such complex and contradictory uses?and abuses?of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony since its premier in 1824. Buch shows that Beethoven consciously drew on the tradition of European political music, with its mix of sacred and profane, military and religious themes, when he composed his symphony. But while Beethoven obviously had his own political aspirations for the piece?he wanted it to make a statement about ideal power?he could not have had any idea of the antithetical political uses, nationalist and universalist, to which the Ninth Symphony has been put since its creation. Buch shows us how the symphony has been "deployed" throughout nearly two centuries, and in the course of this exploration offers what was described by one French reviewer as "a fundamental examination of the moral value of art." Sensitive and fascinating, this account of the tangled political existence of a symphony is a rare book that shows the life of an artwork through time, shifted and realigned with the currents of history.
