Great Fugue is Volker Braun\u2019s most recent collection, an attempt to understand the strange, silent world of 2020 and the COVID pandemic. Drawing on Dante, Beethoven and Pound, the book examines the catastrophic conflict between Progress and Nature in the Anthropocene Age. A book about the day the world stood still in 2020, when our cities were sedated, the streets fell silent and Nature refused to submit to human ideas of Progress. In the Anthropocene era, the Mekong no longer finds its delta, fires burn in the dry forests, and the seas and the skies are fatally poisoned. German writer Volker Braun tries to measure a world caught between climate emergency and global instability, economic growth and social decay.\n\nGreat Fugue\n\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked services.\n\nPlease note that the price advertised is as low as we can go, we do not accept offers.\n\nGreat Fugue is Volker Braun\u2019s m;
