The Miracle of Stalag 8a - Beauty Beyond the Horror: Olivier Messiaen and the Quartet for the End of TimeThe Miracle of Stalag 8A is a retelling of the fascinating story of Olivier Messiaen's composition of his Quartet for the End of Time. Set in France & Germany from 1939 to 1941, Messiaen served in the French army, was captured at Verdun, and sent to Stalag 8A in Gorlitz, Germany, where he composed the great work, The Quartet for the End of Time.

The Miracle of Stalag 8A is a retelling of the fascinating story of Olivier Messiaen's composition of his Quartet for the End of Time. Set in France & Germany from 1939 to 1941, Messiaen served in the French army, was captured at Verdun, and sent to Stalag 8A in Gorlitz, Germany, where he composed the great work, The Quartet for the End of Time. The enigmatic Messiaen, an avant-garde composer and also a devout Catholic, along with Etienne Pasquier, an agnostic cellist, Henri Akoka, a Jewish Trotskyite Clarinetist, and Jean le Boulaire, an atheistic violinist, become the famous quartet of Stalag 8A. These four very different men collaborated to create musical history in the most unlikely of places. Messiaen's Quartet, composed in a Stalag, transforms man's inhumanity to man with hope. Yet to the avant-garde, he was too traditional and too religious; to the traditionalists and religious, he was too avant-garde. As a result he will always stand somewhere outside of Time. The first performance of the Quartet for the End of Time at Stalag 8A in January 1941 has become, in the words of Paul Griffiths, "one of the great stories of twentieth-century music." - From the Publisher

Love these for super chewers
Flavor Name: REAL Bacon, Size: Large
I have two pit bulls and they destroy everything. These have held up very well for weeks. I use the cups for their morning yogurt and can even use hot water wand soap to wash them out. These are a great value for the money and the dogs love to carry them around in their mouths and even tug o war with them. Highly recommend.

Amazing
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: 6.9 Ounce (Pack of 1)
My dogs love these so much, seems to keep my girl meatballs teeth clean. Both of them go craft for these, they chew on them almost all day, it keeps them busy. I bought other brands of these but they had this jelly filling that wasn’t safe for them, so I switched to this peanut butter one that seems a lot healthier and is a lot safer for my dogs (in a sense they won’t choke on it from basically inhaling it again 😭) and they are still interested in the bone once it’s empty, so it’s a toy that lasts forever. Overall an amazing cheap dog find on here

Great!
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: 6.9 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is such a perfect treat for dogs! They can chew and play with it for hours. No mess or stinky smell. Bang for your buck! It lasts long but as soon as you can see any sharp edges, simply throw it away just to be on the safe side.
