Sinossi
Excerpt from Anthony the Absolute
Every evening since the ship left Vancouver he has presided over the round table in the middle of the smoking-room. There he sips his coffee and liqueur, and holds forth on every subject known to the mind of man. Each subject is his subject. He is an elderly person, with a bad face and a drooping left eyelid. He wears a monocle; and carries his handkerchief in his left sleeve.
They tell me that he is in the British Service a judge somewhere down in Malaysia, where they drink more than is good for them. I believe it. He tosses about his obiter dicta as if he were pope of the human intellect. A garrulous pope. Surely the mind of a judge, when exposed, is a dreadful thing!

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a sophisticated and scientific exploration of the history and evolution of music by the world-renowned expert, Anthony Ives Eckhart. Using his innovative recording technology, Eckhart presents a revolutionary theory that challenges the western worldâs traditional understanding of music. By studying ancient music, he reveals that the western diatonic system is not the basis of all music and meticulously details how western perceptions of Chinese and Japanese music have been shaped by cultural biases. Ultimately, Eckhart's work prompts a reconsideration of what we consider to be music, challenging the very foundations of our musical standards.
