Books by Theodor W. Adorno

Theodor W. Adorno (1903-69) was a founder and arguably the foremost thinker of the Frankfurt School. He worked with Max Horkheimer at the New York Institute for Social Research and later taught at the University of Frankfurt until his death in 1969. His work has proved enormously influential in sociology, philosophy and cultural theory. Hanns Eisler (1898-1962) is one of the great distinctive musical personalities of the twentieth century. Committedly left-wing and enormously versatile, he composed in various genres: from chamber pieces in the style of the Schoenberg school to `agitprop' ballads and choruses for the Workers' Movement; from full symphonic works to the more conventional film scores he wrote for Hollywood.
