"This complete edition of letters and documents between Arnold Schoenberg and Thomas Mann brings together two towering figures of twentieth-century music and literature, both of whom found refuge in Los Angeles during the Nazi era. Culminating in the famous dispute over Mann's novel Doctor Faustus, the correspondence, diary entries, and related articles provide a glimpse inside the private and public lives of these two great artists, the outstanding figures of the German-exile community in California. In the thicket of the controversy was Theodor Adorno, then a budding philosopher, whose contribution to the Faustus affair would make enemies of both families. Gathered here for the first time in English, the letters in this essential volume are complemented by rich primary source materials and an introduction by Germanic scholar Adrian Daub that contextualizes the impact the artists had on twentieth-century thought and culture"--Provided by publisher.

Lorsqu'il fait la connaissance de Maria Altmann, un jeune avocat de Los Angeles est loin de se douter de ce qui l'attend... Cette septuagénaire excentrique lui confie une mission des plus sidérantes : l'aider à récupérer l'un des plus célèbres tableaux de Gustav Klimt, exposé dans le plus grand musée d'Autriche, dont elle assure que celui-ci appartenait à sa famille ! D'abord sceptique, le jeune avocat se laisse convaincre par cette attachante vieille dame tandis que celle-ci lui raconte sa jeunesse tourmentée, l'invasion nazi, la spoliation des tableaux de sa famille, jusqu'à sa fuite aux Etats-Unis. Mais l'Autriche n'entend évidemment pas rendre la « Joconde autrichienne » à sa propriétaire légitime... Faute de recours, ils décident d'intenter un procès au gouvernement autrichien pour faire valoir leur droit et prendre une revanche sur l'Histoire.
