{"product_id":"wagners-book-nike-wagner-9780753812808","title":"The Wagners","description":"Nike Wagner, the great-granddaughter of the composer, exposes the dramas behind the ever-controversial Wagner family and the Bayreuth Festival. She discusses Richard Wagner's life, his character and the music-dramas he wrote; the development of the Bayreuth Festival; her father and the new style of Wagner production which he inaugurated after the Second World War; the endless battles within the Wagner family; their relationship to political movements - above all to the Third Reich; and the struggles for the succession of the principality of the Festival. Nike Wagner is particularly clear-eyed on the relationship between her family and many aspects of German cultural-political life. The book chronicles in detail the often horrifying internecine warfare within the family, and its relationship to the extreme right-wing ideologies which have dominated much of its history.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49534629904657,"sku":"GOR002975258","price":5.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53251037626641,"sku":"GOR003280005","price":8.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0753812800.jpg?v=1751447671","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/wagners-book-nike-wagner-9780753812808","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
