The life of an extraordinary artist and intellect: the composer,
author and socialite Alma Mahler, whose life spanned one of the
most captivating and dramatic periods in history Alma Mahler was
once at the epicentre of Vienna's artistic and intellectual life. A
talented composer in her own right, she was open, generous,
remarkably creative, curious, challenging and zealous in her
pursuit of love. Artists, architects, musicians and writers jostled
to join her coterie. Gustav Klimt was her first kiss; Gustav Mahler
her first husband. But her life was haunted by tragedy, and the
support and inspiration that Alma gave to the men she loved came at
the heavy price of her own artistic fulfilment. Drawing extensively
on previously unpublished diaries and letters, Cate Haste
illuminates the passionate spirit of one of history's most complex
and charismatic muses, a modern woman with an elemental vitality
that could scarcely be contained by her century - who will live
forever in the art she created and inspired.
