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. 606 $aHistory of art & design styles: c 1800 to c 1900$2BIC 607 $aGermany$xCivilization 607 $aGermany$xIntellectual life$y18th century 607 $aGermany$xIntellectual life$y19th century 615 7$aHistory of art & design styles: c 1800 to c 1900. 676 $a943.07 700 $aCavaliero$b Roderick$01795504 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910961984003321 996 $aGenius, power and magic$94336870 997 $aUNINA
