The German mezzo-soprano and celebrated singing teacher Mathilde Marchesi (1821-1913) presents an illuminating account of her life in these memoirs. First published in 1897, the book reflects the significant role that Marchesi played in vocal education during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Having begun her career as a performer, from 1854 she devoted herself to teaching at the Vienna Conservatory and also in Paris and Cologne. She instructed many of the pre-eminent female singers of the age, including Nellie Melba, Mary Garden and Emma Calvé. Also renowned for bringing the Italian bel canto vocal technique into the twentieth century, Marchesi occupied a prominent position in musical history. Featuring musical excerpts and a number of other illustrations, these memoirs record her outstanding achievements and strong opinions. The work also includes a brief introduction by the French composer Jules Massenet.

Les fiancailles et le mariage de Philippe et Mathilde ont bénéficié d'un éclairage médiatique exceptionnel, à la hauteur de l'événement. Six auteurs aux points de vue différents (deux historiens, deux anthropologues, un politologue et un professionnel des médias) tentent de décrypter la signification politique, historique et sociale du mariage princier dans la Belgique d'aujourd'hui. Comment les médias ont-ils traité le sujet ? Comment la population a-t-elle vécu les cérémonies ? Au-delà de l'image lisse et nette, quelles valeurs et quels intérêts sont en jeu dans ce mariage d'exception ?

"Comics have great potential to depict an almost infinite range of themes, questions and lives. But what about their ability to express and interpret philosophical concepts? How can we differentiate between the representation of theoretical concepts in and of themselves, and the impact of comics techniques on the legacy of philosophers, their lives and their thought? This book explores the historical and artistic value of representing lives through the medium of bande dessinée (BD), French-language comics. The text analyses three biographical BDs dedicated to the lives of Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir and Albert Camus as well as a selection of print and online comics that extend the legacy of these philosophers and their historical movement. The work is the first to analyse biographical BD through the lens of Existentialism, offering a new theory of reading biographical comics. The research not only contributes a novel approach to comics but also an enhanced understanding of Existentialism and the Existentialists, including their enduring contemporary relevance"--

The German poet Mathilde Wesendonck (1828-1902), author of the texts of the Wesendonck Lieder, was the wife of Wagner's patron, the wealthy silk merchant Otto Wesendonck. From 1852 until 1858, the Wagners lived next to the Wesendoncks in Zurich and an intense relationship developed between Wagner and Mathilde, subsequently reflected in the impossible love at the heart of his opera Tristan und Isolde. Prepared by the American musicologist Gustav Kobbé (1857‒1918), who provides a helpful connecting narrative, this 1905 translation of a selection of 'the most intimate and striking' of Wagner's impassioned letters to Mathilde charts the course of the opera's creation. Written between 1853 and 1863, the letters show Wagner thinking aloud not only about Tristan but also the planning of Parsifal. As Mathilde's letters to Wagner were destroyed, the exact nature of their relationship and of her inspiration musically will never be fully established.

La représentation de la Mort, de la Renaissance à la Belle Époque, est à l'origine de la collection étonnante de la baronne Henri de Rothschild (1874-1926). Historiens de l'art, anthropologue et spécialistes de l'art d'Extrême-Orient proposent un éclairage nouveau sur cette collection éclectique, aussi méconnue qu'inédite, en la replaçant dans le contexte historico-social. Des grains de chapelet aux netsuke en passant par les épingles de cravate, les œuvres profanes ou sacrées témoignent d'un goût pour le macabre teinté parfois d'un esprit potache. D'autre part, la présence symbolique du crâne dans l'art est mise en perspective par un florilège de vanités de la Renaissance à nos jours, peintures et installations de maîtres anciens mais aussi d'artistes contemporains tels que Vincenzo Dandini, Cornelis Gysbrechts, Annette Messager, Brassaï, Robert Mapplethorpe ou Giuseppe Penone.

Annette Kolbs Werk ist eigensinnig. Von den ersten Prosaskizzen 1899 bis zu den letzten Einmischungen in zeitbezogene Debatten als 95-jährige zeigt sich die Autorin stets als kritische Beobachterin ihrer Zeit. Als Kind einer Pariserin und eines Bayern erfuhr sie die Zugehörigkeit zu zwei Vaterländern als beglückende Bereicherung wie als mörderischen Zwiespalt, während des Krieges als öffentliches Skandalon, zu dem sie sich unerschrocken bekannte. Die Umbrüche in der Geschlechterdebatte begleitete und lebte sie mit eigenen Vorstellungen. Die Katholikin kannte Gott und die Welt, verkehrte unter Diplomaten, Adligen, Politikern und Intellektuellen in ganz Europa, bis sie vertrieben wurde ins amerikanische Exil und im Alter als große femme de Lettres nach München zurückkehrte. Ihrem Werk, das nun in einer sorgfältig kommentierten Neuedition wieder zugänglich gemacht wird, liegt stets Selbsterlebtes, Selbstbeobachtetes, Selbstgedachtes zugrunde. Die Herausgeber Hiltrud und Günter Häntzschel präsentieren neben den drei vielgelesenen Romanen »Das Exemplar« (1913), »Daphne Herbst« (1928) und »Die Schaukel« (1934) zahlreiche Erzählungen, bislang verschollene Feuilletons und biographische Porträts der großen Schriftstellerin. Ihre ausführlichen Anmerkungen erschließen die vielfältigen Anspielungen auf Begegnungen, Lektüren und historische Ereignisse und dokumentieren die Rezeption eines seinerzeit viel beachteten Werkes. Der Schriftsteller und Literaturkritiker Albert von Schirnding stellt in einem einleitenden Essay das vielseitige Werk Annette Kolbs vor.
