Through a series of captivating monologues, Brünnhilde, the courageous heroine, diagnoses Wotan, the father of the gods, as a victim of capitalism. She reveals that Wotan, too, has fallen into the trap of wanting to own a castle he cannot afford, thus succumbing to the forces of capitalism. In a thought-provoking exploration, Brünnhilde and Wotan trace the evolution of capitalism from the Nibelungen Saga to the devastating 2008 financial crisis. Written with Jelinek's signature linguistic zeal, rein GOLD is a playful yet ferocious critique of universal greed, earning her the prestigious Nobel Prize in Literature in 2004. This captivating work delves into the complexities of power, greed, and the human condition, offering a thought-provoking perspective on our contemporary world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 264g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 129 x 195 x 22 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781913097448\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elfriede Jelinek","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44097065287930,"sku":"9781913097448","price":9.27,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/37b799c7ed6eaf2d9d0ff48da71a415e.jpg?v=1621183742","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/rein-gold","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
