{"product_id":"the-life-of-mahler-peter-franklin-9780521461993","title":"The Life of Mahler","description":"As a leading European conductor and the composer of enormous and controversial symphonies, Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) inspired mythologizers in his own lifetime. Some of them were personal friends, concerned with countering biased criticism of him in which German-nationalist, hide-bound traditionalist or anti-Semitic elements were often mixed. In this new biography, Peter Franklin reconfronts the myth of Mahler-the-misunderstood-hero and attempts to find the person, or persons, behind the legends. His illuminating biography shows Mahler to be a profoundly sensitive thinker and composer, a dictatorial conductor and husband, an iconoclast and paradoxically, a traditionalist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Franklin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521461995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521461993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/24\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.79h x 5.72w x 0.82d","brand":"Peter Franklin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43946721673471,"sku":"9780521461993","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_cf533601-7ce1-41fc-bb34-2c7264fc7475.jpg?v=1681514759","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-life-of-mahler-peter-franklin-9780521461993","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
