AUTHOR
SUMMARY
Johann Sebastian Bach created what may be the most celestial and profound body of music in history; Frederick the Great built the colossus we now know as Germany, and along with it a template for modern warfare. Their fleeting encounter in 1757 signals a unique moment in history where belief collided with the cold certainty of reason. Set at the tipping point between the ancient and modern world, Evening in the Palace of Reason captures the tumult of the eighteenth century, the legacy of the Reformation, and the birth of the Enlightenment in this extraordinary tale of two men.Gaines, James R. is the author of 'Evening in the Palace of Reason Bach Meets Frederick the Great in the Age of Enlightenment', published 2006 under ISBN 9780007156610 and ISBN 0007156618.
