Jan Sebastian Bach - biografia

by Albert Schweitzer, Maria Kurecka (Translator), Witold Wirpsza (Translator)

W Kolacji na cztery ręce, słynnym dramacie Paula Barza, spotyka się niewątpliwy geniusz Bach z wątpliwym geniuszem Haendlem. Czy zatem biografia Bacha, napisana przez niekwestionowanego geniusza, Alberta Schweitzera, nie zasługuje na parafrazę: Biografia na cztery ręce? Zasługiwałaby w pełni, gdyby nie fakt, że w tej książce z Janem Sebastianem Bachem spotyka się nie jeden, lecz wielu Schweitzerów.

About the author

Albert Schweitzer, M.D., OM, was an Alsatian theologian, musician, philosopher, and physician. He was born in Kaisersberg in Alsace-Lorraine, a Germanophone region which the German Empire returned to France after World War I. Schweitzer challenged both the secular view of historical Jesus current at his time and the traditional Christian view, depicting a Jesus who expected the imminent end of the world. He received the 1952 Nobel Peace Prize in 1953 for his philosophy of "reverence for life", expressed in many ways, but most famously in founding and sustaining the Lambaréné Hospital in Gabon, west central Africa.
