In Alma Mahler , Fran???oise Giroud provides a spirited portrait of one of Europe's great femme fatales . From Alma's childhood to her heyday as a leading figure in Europe's art scene and her later life as an exile in California and New York, Giroud portrays a woman of remarkable beauty and unconventional mind, the intimate friend (if not lover) of the major artists of her age. Virtually all the great figures of 19th-century Vienna march through these pages, including Sigmund Freud, Richard Strauss, Arnold Schonberg, Karl Kraus, and Elias Canetti, and Giroud pens striking portraits of each. But the heart of the book is Alma's marriage to Gustav Mahler, from her first impression of Mahler to his failure to subjugate his young wife to his will ("You have only one profession from now on: to make me happy "). This is an unforgettable portrait of the woman who stood at the center of the creative world of her time.
