Evening in the Palace of ReasonIn one corner, a godless young warrior, Voltaire's heralded 'philosopher king', the It Boy of the Enlightenment. In the other, a devout if bad tempered old composer of 'outdated' music, a scorned genius in his last years. The sparks from their brief conflict illuminate a turbulent age.

In one corner, a godless young warrior, Voltaire's heralded 'philosopher-king', the It Boy of the Enlightenment. In the other, a devout if bad-tempered old composer of 'outdated' music, a scorned genius in his last years. The sparks from their brief conflict illuminate a turbulent age. Behind the pomp and flash, Prussia's Frederick the Great was a tormented man, son of an abusive king who forced him to watch as his best friend (probably his lover) was beheaded. In what may have been one of history's crueler practical jokes, Frederick challenged 'old Bach' to a musical duel, asking him to improvise a six-part fugue based on an impossibly intricate theme (possibly devised for him by Bach's own son). Bach left the court fuming, but in a fever of composition, he used the coded, alchemical language of counterpoint to write 'A Musical Offering' in response. A stirring declaration of faith, it represented 'as stark a rebuke of his beliefs and world view as an absolute monarch has ever received, ' Gaines writes. It is also one of the great works of art in the history of music. Set at the tipping point between the ancient and the modern world, the triumphant story of Bach's victory expands to take in the tumult of the eighteenth century: the legacy of the Reformation, wars and conquest, the birth of the Enlightenment. Brimming with originality and wit, 'Evening in the Palace of Reason' is history of the best kind - intimate in scale and broad in its vision.Binding Type: Paperback

Nice room divider!
Color: Black
Looks great and has held up well so far (but we've been very careful with it). Not too heavy to move around when needed

Beautiful!
Color: Black, Color: Black
I share a very small apartment with my daughter so my bed is in the living area. This screen not only gives me privacy, but also makes me feel like I sleep in a Japanese lantern!
At night with the bedside lamp on it glows beautifully!
It’s fairly lightweight and came fully assembled.

Japanese-Style 4-Panel Screen Room Divider: Beautiful, But...
Color: Black, Color: Black
I really like this product, and would gladly recommend it. But there are a few things you want to know before buy:
Likes 👍👍👍
- Looks great! See photos I shared.
- Works as advertised: divides your space and provides privacy, with elegance and style.
- Lightweight: It is super light and easy to move around.
Dislikes 👎👎👎
- Flimsy: according to the dictionary, that means "light and easily damaged" 🧐
- Pricey: Anything is worth what you're willing to pay for it! But I think this should be $75 tops!
- Shaky: You need to position it just right, or it could tip over really easily. I had to reposition mine because it almost got blown by a floor fan! True story 😅
- Print is on one side only which will bother some of you. I'm a recovering OCD 😂
My Verdict 🧐
- Despite its shortcomings, I like this thing, and I would buy it again! 😅 It has character and really adds to your space. So, now that you know what you're getting, you can make up your own mind! I've already bought mine 😉 Happy shopping 😊
Hope my review has helped you make a more informed buying decision 👍😊👋

Cute backdrop for videos and room separation
Color: Black
Bought this because sometimes you need emotional boundaries AND physical ones. Surprisingly sturdy, looks nice on camera, and makes a room feel more peaceful instantly. Side note I have 2 cats and 2 large dogs and it has took a couple of beatings but did not damage at all!
