Specificatii
Richard Wagner's Ring of the Nibelung is one of the greatest works
of art created in modern times, and has fascinated both critics and
devotees for over a century and a half. No recent study has
examined the meaning of Wagner's masterpiece with the attention to
detail and intellectual power that Roger Scruton brings to it in
this inspiring account. The Ring of Truth is an exploration of the
drama, music, symbolism and philosophy of the Ring from a writer
whose knowledge and understanding of the Western musical tradition
are the equal of his capacities as a philosopher. Scruton shows
how, through musical connections and brilliant dramatic strokes,
Wagner is able to express truths about the human condition which
few other creative artists have been able to convey so
convincingly. For Wagner, writes Scruton, the task of art is to
``show us freedom in its immediate, contingent, human form,
reminding us of what it means to us. Even if we live in a world
from which gods and heroes have disappeared we can, by imagining
them, dramatize the deep truths of our condition and renew our
faith in what we are.``Love, death, sacrifice and the liberation
that we win through sacrifice--these are the great themes of the
Ring, as they are of this book. Scruton's passionate and moving
interpretation allows us to understand more fully than ever how
Wagner conveys his ideas about who we are, and why the Ring
continues to be such a hypnotically absorbing work.
