Cambridge: Cambridge Univ Press, 1997. 228pp, b&w illus, notes, index. Trade paperback in very good condition. In this recent biography, Peter Franklin re-confronts the myth of Mahler the misunderstood hero and attempts to find the person, or persons, behind the legends: the profoundly sensitive thinker and composer, the dictatorial conductor and husband, the iconoclast, the traditionalist. Mahler's life and work emerge as a battle-ground for some of the major conflicting currents and impulses of his period, in which Empires and ideals struggled with the spectre of their own destruction. . Trade Paperback. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
