Simply gorgeous. 1911 1st Edition (Thus) , SIEGFRIED AND THE TWILIGHT OF THE GODS By Richard Wagner Translated by Margaret Armour Author… Bio: Wilhelm Richard Wagner (22 May 1813 - 13 February 1883) was a German composer, theatre director, polemicist, and conductor who is chiefly known for his operas (or, as some of his mature works were later known, "music dramas"). Illustrated By: Arthur Rackham Illustrator Bio: Arthur Rackham RWS (19 September 1867 - 6 September 1939) was an English book illustrator. He is recognised as one of the leading figures during the Golden Age of British book illustration. His work is noted for its robust pen and ink drawings, which were combined with the use of watercolour, a technique he developed due to his background as a journalistic illustrator. Rackham's 51 colour pieces for the early American tale Rip Van Winkle became a turning point in the production of books since - through colour-separated printing - it featured the accurate reproduction of colour artwork. His best-known works also include the illustrations for Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens, and Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm. Synopsis: The Ring of the Nibelung - Volume II In the second part of Margaret Armour's translation of Richard Wagner's best-known work 'The Ring of the Nibelung', the last two opera's in the cycle, 'Siegfried' and 'The Twilight of the Gods', are reproduced here with colour plates by Arthur Rackham. 'Siegfried', the third of the four operas, is primarily inspired by the story of the legendary hero Sigurd in Norse mythology. A man without fear, he attempts to learn it. This narrative is followed by the finale, 'Götterdämmerung' - the title of which is a translation into German of the Old Norse phrase 'Ragnarök', which in Norse mythology refers to a prophesied war among various beings and gods that ultimately results in the burning, immersion in water, and renewal of the world. The book contains a series of dazzling colour and black-and-white illustrations - by a master of the craft; Arthur Rackham (1867-1939). One of the most celebrated painters of the British Golden Age of Illustration (which encompassed the years from 1850 until the start of the First World War), Rackham's artistry is quite simply, unparalleled. Throughout his career, he developed a unique style, combining haunting humour with dream-like romance. Presented alongside the text, his illustrations further refine and elucidate Richard Wagner's enthralling operatic cycle.

Synopsis: Spine features titles, ourobouros with Heinemann printed at heel. Illustrated throughout with the epic imagery of the saga by Arthur Rackham on smooth, coated plates. Very good first edition of this scarce combined volume in good, intact wrapper - rare in any form. Printed in Great Britain by William Clowes and Sons, Limited, Duchy Street, Stamford Street, London, and at Beccles. 160 and 182 pages of text with two dozen plates in each book of this single volume.Wagner's late dramas are considered his masterpieces. Der Ring des Nibelungen, commonly referred to as the Ring or "Ring cycle", is a set of four operas based loosely on figures and elements of Germanic mythology—particularly from the later Norse mythology—notably the Old Norse Poetic Edda and Volsunga Saga, and the Middle High German Nibelungenlied. The first two components of the Ring cycle were Das Rheingold (The Rhinegold), which was completed in 1854, and Die Walküre (The Valkyrie), which was finished in 1856. In Das Rheingold, with its "relentlessly talky 'realism' [and] the absence of lyrical 'numbers'", Wagner came very close to the musical ideals of his 1849-1851 essays. Die Walküre, which contains what is virtually a traditional aria (Siegmund's Winterstürme in the first act), and the quasi-choral appearance of the Valkyries themselves, shows more "operatic" traits, but has been assessed by Barry Millington as "the music drama that most satisfactorily embodies the theoretical principles of 'Oper und Drama'. A thoroughgoing synthesis of poetry and music is achieved without any notable sacrifice in musical expression." When Wagner returned to writing the music for the last act of Siegfried and for Götterdämmerung (Twilight of the Gods), as the final part of the Ring, his style had changed once more to something more recognisable as "operatic" than the aural world of Rheingold and Walküre, though it was still thoroughly stamped with his own originality as a composer and suffused with leitmotifs.

Author Bio: Henrik Ibsen (1828 - 1906) Widely considered the father of modern drama, Ibsen revolutionised the nineteenth-century stage through his unflinching realism and psychological insight. His plays—A Doll's House, Hedda Gabler, Ghosts, The Master Builder—remain essential to modern theatre. Peer Gynt (1867) stands apart as his great poetic work: a mythic allegory of the self, forever entwined with Edvard Grieg's celebrated musical score. Illustrated By: Arthur Rackham Illustrator Bio: Arthur Rackham RWS (19 September 1867 - 6 September 1939) was an English book illustrator. He is recognised as one of the leading figures during the Golden Age of British book illustration. His work is noted for its robust pen and ink drawings, which were combined with the use of watercolour, a technique he developed due to his background as a journalistic illustrator. Rackham's 51 colour pieces for the early American tale Rip Van Winkle became a turning point in the production of books since - through colour-separated printing - it featured the accurate reproduction of colour artwork. His best-known works also include the illustrations for Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens, and Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm. Synopsis: Peer Gynt (1867), Ibsen's sweeping verse-drama traces the reckless journey of Peer Gynt, the dream-haunted son of a peasant farmer, through forests, mountains and deserts in search of wealth, power, and ultimately himself. Rooted in Norwegian folklore and satire, Peer Gynt examines illusion and identity, culminating in a vision of redemption through love. Rackham's illustrations, created late in his career, are among his most atmospheric—trolls, forests and fjords rendered in the wiry, translucent style that defined the Edwardian imagination.

Later writers developed the undine into a water nymph in its own right, and it continues to live in modern literature and art through such adaptations as Danish Hans Christian Andersen's 1837 "The Little Mermaid" and the 1811 novella Undine by Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué.
