Description

The life of Alma Mahler, a woman at the epicentre of Vienna's artistic and intellectual life, is one of captivating drama and tragedy. A talented composer in her own right, Alma was open, generous, remarkably creative, curious, challenging and zealous in her pursuit of love.

Her relationships with artists, architects, musicians and writers were intense and all-consuming, yet came at a heavy cost to her artistic fulfilment. Drawing on previously unpublished diaries and letters, Cate Haste sheds new light on the passionate spirit of this complex and charismatic muse.

This biography illuminates the elemental vitality of Alma Mahler, a modern woman whose art and legacy will live on forever.
