{"product_id":"music-and-myth-in-modern-josh-torabi-9780367550790","title":"Music and Myth in Modern Literature","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book is the first major study that explores the intrinsic connection between music and myth, as Nietzsche conceived of it in \u003ci\u003eThe Birth of Tragedy \u003c\/i\u003e(1872), in three great works of modern literature: Romain Rolland's Nobel Prize winning novel \u003ci\u003eJean-Christophe \u003c\/i\u003e(1904-12), James Joyce's modernist epic \u003ci\u003eUlysses \u003c\/i\u003e(1922), and Thomas Mann's late masterpiece \u003ci\u003eDoctor Faustus \u003c\/i\u003e(1947). Juxtaposing Nietzsche's conception of the Apollonian and Dionysian with narrative depictions of music and myth, Josh Torabi challenges the common view that the latter half of \u003ci\u003eThe Birth of Tragedy\u003c\/i\u003e is of secondary importance to the first. Informed by a deep knowledge of Nietzsche's early aesthetics, the book goes on to offer a fresh and original perspective on \u003ci\u003eUlysses \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eDoctor Faustus\u003c\/i\u003e, two world-famous novels that are rarely discussed together, and makes the case for the significance of \u003ci\u003eJean-Christophe\u003c\/i\u003e, which has been unfairly neglected in the Anglophone world, despite Rolland's status as a major figure in twentieth-century intellectual and literary history. This unique study reveals new depths to the work of our most enduring writers and thinkers. 　\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Josh Torabi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367550792\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367550790\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/21\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Josh Torabi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43943206879487,"sku":"9780367550790","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_24a384c8-6654-4b51-8c7a-3eff3a63a0a7.jpg?v=1681496812","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/music-and-myth-in-modern-josh-torabi-9780367550790","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
