A new edition of the cult book by composer and philosopher Vladimir Martynov, supplemented with author's commentary. After 16 years, he returns to the theme of the end of author's (composer's) music. In the twentieth century, the old world ended, the old categories (God, History, Cosmos) were nullified. The attitude to individuality as such has changed. This has also affected the perception of music: composers continue to exist, but today no one cares about the figure of the composer. How to treat this? Restrained and sardonic, Martynov invites the reader to accept, and more importantly, to understand modernity - even if it leaves you no room for it. "...Despite the fact that Martynov already in the first pages reproduces the famous quote from Hegel about the end of art, but it is not Hegel, and it is he who is still called either Herostratus, who takes pleasure in destroying musical tradition, or a charlatan." Oleg Aronson

💡 LIFE HACKS FOR BOOK LOVERS

A few useful tips to make shopping more convenient and profitable:

Want to add books to an order you've already placed?
You can, if the order hasn't been sent yet. Just add the books to the cart — the "Add to order" option will appear in the "Payment" section. Pay in a convenient way (PayPal, card or online bank) — and the books will be automatically added to your order. If there is no button, it means the order has already been processed and packed. In this case, you can place a new order separately.
Want to buy a book now and send it later with your next order?
When placing your order, select the "Buy and put it aside (add to future order)" option. The next time you order, this purchase will automatically appear in your cart, and we will send everything in one parcel.
