A PRESTO BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024

''Gripping.'' FINANCIAL TIMES
''Breathtaking.'' SIMON CALLOW
''Vivid.'' BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE

A colourful and concise telling of the fascinating story behind Richard Wagner’s extraordinary masterpiece, Ring of the Nibelung.

The Ring is one of the most epic and compelling stories of the nineteenth century, created by a composer who was, alongside Dickens, Tolstoy and Victor-Hugo, also one of the century’s master storytellers. But the story of how Wagner created the work is one full of intrigue and triumphs against unlikely odds – as well as controversy, due to the composer’s anti-semitic views and popularity with the Nazi party.

In Story of the Century, Michael Downes combines cultural history and biography to offer this accessible and insightful introduction to The Ring and its mythology. He tells the story of how and why this extraordinary masterpiece came into being, why it takes the form it does, why it fascinates and obsesses so many and horrifies others, and why it matters.
