Yet between the end of the Thirty Years War and unification under Bismarck, Germany became the land of philosophers and poets, writers and composers. Roderick Cavaliero provides a fascinating overview of Germany's cultural zenith and its artistic exports - including the literature of Goethe and Grimm, the music of Wagner, Schumann and Mendelssohn and the philosophy of Hegel, Marx, Nietzsche, Schiller and Kant. Providing a comprehensive and highly-readable account of Germany from Frederick the Great to Bismarck, 'Genius, Power and Magic' is fascinating reading for anyone interested in European history and the extraordinary cultural legacy of this golden age."--Amazon.com.History of art & design styles: c 1800 to c 1900BICGermanyCivilizationGermanyIntellectual life18th centuryGermanyIntellectual life19th centuryHistory of art & design styles: c 1800 to c 1900.943.07Cavaliero Roderick1795504UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910961984003321Genius, power and magic4336870UNINA
