Abstract

Arnold Schoenberg and Thomas Mann, two towering figures of twentieth-century music and literature, both found refuge in the German-exile community in Los Angeles during the Nazi era. This complete edition of their correspondence provides a glimpse inside their private and public lives and culminates in the famous dispute over Mann's novel Doctor Faustus. In the thick of the controversy was Theodor Adorno, then a budding philosopher, whose contribution to the Faustus affair would make him an enemy of both families. Gathered here for the first time in English, the letters in this essential volume are complemented by diary entries, related articles, and other primary source materials, as well as an introduction by German studies scholar Adrian Daub that contextualizes the impact these two great artists had on twentieth-century thought and culture.

Abstract

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.
