La evolución de una pasión durante toda una vida: el arte de Richard Wagner según Thomas Mann. Thomas Mann reservó su entusiasmo y sabiduría de lector meticuloso para aquellos autores cuyas obras le hicieron soñar. Como figura central de este panteon de padrinos culturales se alza Richard Wagner, pasion fundamental del escritor y piedra de toque de algunas de sus novelas. Este libro ofrece una vision plural y cambiante del compositor, a quien Mann admiro sobre todo por haber sabido trascender las limitaciones especificas de su campo y aspirar a la universalidad. Realmente, no es dificil advertir un halito del espiritu que anima El anillo de los Nibelungos en mis Buddenbrook, en esa procesion epica de generaciones unidas y entrelazadas gracias a un conjunto de motivos centrales.Thomas Mann

An intimate, funny and frank account of the moments behind the music, of the truth behind the headlines and of the fascinatingly complicated man behind the imperious entertainer, Reveal is Robbie Williams as you've never seen him before. More than twelve years ago, Robbie Williams and Chris Heath published a ground-breaking memoir, Feel, about Robert P. Williams' rise to fame; a book that was met with worldwide acclaim, from critics and fans alike. Since that time, Robbie has released six solo albums, reunited with his old band Take That and, in the wake of his twelfth UK number-one album, has returned to the stage with a sold-out run at Wembley Stadium. In Reveal, bestselling author Chris Heath has been working closely with Robbie for many years to create a personal and raw account of fame, fortune, family and music; a vivid and detailed story of the real highs and lows as Robbie has found his way forward, that is unprecedented in its intimacy and honesty. Long-awaited by millions, Reveal is the uncensored and compelling portrait of the man as you've never seen him before. "It's a diary of a very modern entertainer and his ever-changing thoughts, the story of somebody who escaped Butlins, and the tale of a pop star trying to find his feet again after coming out of early retirement. It's true, and funny, and occasionally sad, and well-written, and very entertaining. I hope people enjoy it." Robbie
