{"product_id":"the-swan-king-christopher-mcintosh-9781350143418","title":"The Swan King: Ludwig II of Bavaria","description":"\"The Swan King\" is the biography of one of the most enigmatic figures of the 19th century, described by Verlaine as 'the only true king of his century'. A man of wildly eccentric temperament and touched by a rare, imaginative genius, Ludwig II of Bavaria is remembered both for his patronage of Richard Wagner and for the fabulous palaces which he created as part of a dream-world to escape the responsibilities of state. In realization of his fantasies, he created a ferment of creativity among artists and craftsmen, while his neglect of Bavaria's political interests made powerful enemies among those critical of his self-indulgence and excesses. At the age of 40, declared insane in a plot to depose him, Ludwig died in mysterious circumstances.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher McIntosh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350143413\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350143418\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/06\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Christopher McIntosh","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072925462783,"sku":"9781350143418","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b07795b1-2d33-4cb1-869b-b6946a3b552e.jpg?v=1685444757","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-swan-king-christopher-mcintosh-9781350143418","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
