Bücher von Theodor Adorno

Leader of the Frankfurt School on the music of modernism.

In this remarkable work written 50 years ago, Adorno showcases the dangers inherent in modern obsessions with consumption.

Adorno's frank and open challenge to directness, and the avoidance of language that 'gives itself over either to the market, to balderdash, or to the predominating vulgarity', is as timely today as it ever has been.
