Books like Diaries by Alma Mahler

Name: Diaries
Author: Alma Mahler

The manuscript of Alma Mahler's Diaries, a pile of old exercise books, lay unread and seemingly illegible in the library of an American university. In search of the truth about Alma and Alexander Zemlinsky, Antony Beaumont read them - and found what he was looking for. But he found far more: the authentic saga of one of the century's most charismatic personalities. The Diaries depict in intimate detail the four years during which Alma grew from adolescence into womanhood. Opening with her first, heady affair with Gustav Klimt, they break off shortly before her marriage to Gustav Mahler. Having come to grips with Alma's handwriting, Beaumont and his co-editor for the German edition, Susanne Rode-Breymann, added meticulously researched commentaries and annotations.

First publish date: 1998
