About the Book

L'histoire de Marie KALERGIS née NESSELRODE est évoquée avec une précision révélatrice dans la biographie de Constantin PHOTIADÈS qui s'est plongé dans les archives de sa famille. Elle fut une pianiste virtuose mondaine, une beauté idéale et séduisante qui unissait la distinction aristocratique et la plus subtile compréhension des mouvements de la pensée, des variations de la politique internationale et de l'idéal artistique du 19e siècle. Marie LIPSIUS (LA MARA) fut l'éditrice des lettres de Mme KALERGIS à sa fille, qui nous font découvrir la personnalité très attachante d'une mère prévoyante soucieuse de l'éducation de sa fille et de son entrée dans le monde, tout autant que l'intimité d'une femme qui, toute brillante, douée et généreuse qu'elle fût, dissimulait derrière le paravent d'une apparente sérénité une profonde insatisfaction intérieure et une touche de mélancolie indélébile. Les dernières années de sa trop courte vie, elle endura les tortures d'une longue maladie qui finit par l'emporter avant qu'elle pût réaliser son rêve d'assister à la première bayreuthoise du Ring de son ami Richard WAGNER. Ces textes jusqu'ici difficilement accessibles sont à nouveau disponibles grâce à ce recueil dans lequel Luc-Henri ROGER les a réunis avec quelques autres témoignages d`époque qui nous font revivre la fabuleuse histoire de la fée blanche.
About the Author: LA MARA est le nom de plume de MARIE LIPSIUS (1837-1927). Elle naquit dans une famille de lettrés lipsiotes réputés. C'est en 1855, à dis-neuf ans qu'elle rencontra FRANZ LISZT lors d'un concert. Cette rencontre fut le prélude d'une grande amitié dès 1856, elle faisait partie du cercle rapproché du musicien. Dix ans plus tard, elle devint l'amie de RICHARD et COSIMA WAGNER. Lors de voyages effectués au départ de Leipzig, elle visita fréquemment Bayreuth, Vienne et Weimar. Elle joua un rôle influent dans les milieux musicaux allemands, notamment à la cour grand-ducale de Weimar et dans le cercle de RICHARD WAGNER à Bayreuth. Biographe, elle publia de nombreuses monographies sur nombre de musiciens à elle contemporains. Ses portraits nuancés et empathiques lui furent souvent inspirés par ses rencontres personnelles avec les compositeurs. Il s'agit de témoignages authentiques d'une femme totalement immergée dans la société musicale allemande de son temps. Leur lecture est aujourd'hui incontournable pour les historiens de la musique. Elle reçut le titre de professeur honoris causa à l'occasion de son quatre-vingtième anniversaire en 1917.
