{"product_id":"swan-king","title":"Swan King","description":"\"The Swan King\" is the biography of one of the most enigmatic figures of the 19th century, described by Verlaine as 'the only true king of his century'. A man of wildly eccentric temperament and touched by a rare, imaginative genius, Ludwig II of Bavaria is remembered both for his patronage of Richard Wagner and for the fabulous palaces which he created as part of a dream-world to escape the responsibilities of state. In realization of his fantasies, he created a ferment of creativity among artists and craftsmen, while his neglect of Bavaria's political interests made powerful enemies among those critical of his self-indulgence and excesses. At the age of 40, declared insane in a plot to depose him, Ludwig died in mysterious circumstances.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54227566002520,"sku":"9781350143418","price":28.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781350143418_714f77bf-8f31-4967-8c3d-312bae9bbcd5.jpg?v=1764845132","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/swan-king","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
