Br?nhilde diagnoses Wotan, father of the gods, to be a victim of capitalism because he, too, has fallen into the trap of wanting to own a castle he cannot afford. In a series of monologues, Br?nhilde and Wotan chart the evolution of capitalism from the Nibelungen Saga to the 2008 financial crisis. Written with her trademark 'extraordinary linguistic zeal' (Swedish Academy), \u003ci\u003erein GOLD\u003c\/i\u003e is a playful and ferocious critique of universal greed by the 2004 Nobel Prize in Literature laureate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elfriede Jelinek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1913097447\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781913097448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fitzcarraldo Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/18\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Elfriede Jelinek","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994543653119,"sku":"9781913097448","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2d8fd2ea-1acd-4dac-8f27-d798e306be1f.jpg?v=1683330780","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rein-gold-elfriede-jelinek-9781913097448","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
