""A breathtaking account of the creation of one of the most astonishing works of art ever attempted, the work of one of the most extraordinary artists who ever lived. The revelation of Wagner's mind and temperament at work is as illuminating as it is astonishing."" --Simon Callow ""The book's prose is anchored so deep in the rhythm of the Ring that if you know the music you'll hear it in your head as you read.""--The Spectator
