Finding Again the World brings together a dozen of the best stories by John Metcalf, a modern master of the form.

These are elegant and brilliantly charged fictions, entertaining and moving and mischievous: taking the dross and straw of everyday life and transforming it, through some sort of alchemical process of sensibility, into art.

Free Download Annegret Fauser, "The Politics of Musical Identity: Selected Essays"
English | 2015 | ISBN: 1472425782, 0367581817 | PDF | pages: 393 | 50.3 mb
This volume explores the way in which composers, performers, and critics shaped individual and collective identities in music from Europe and the United States from the 1860s to the 1950s. Selected essays and articles engage with works and their reception by Richard Wagner, Georges Bizet (in an American incarnation), Lili and Nadia Boulanger, William Grant Still, and Aaron Copland, and with performers such as Wanda Landowska and even Marilyn Monroe. Ranging in context from the opera house through the concert hall to the salon, and from establishment cultures to counter-cultural products, the main focus is how music permits new ways of considering issues of nationality, class, race, and gender. These essays – three presented for the first time in English translation – reflect the work in both musical and cultural studies of a distinguished scholar whose international career spans the Atlantic and beyond.
