About This Book

La narration suit un groupe de Français en voyage vers Lucerne, excités à l'idée de rencontrer Richard Wagner, mêlant curiosité personnelle et ferveur musicale. L'auteure raconte son audace d'avoir publié des articles appréciant Wagner, la lettre de réponse du compositeur qui commente en détail une introduction instrumentale des Maîtres Chanteurs et justifie l'instinct du public, puis la décision de se rendre à Tribschen malgré rumeurs et appréhensions. Le récit alterne analyse musicale, souvenirs d'attente, descriptions des impressions personnelles et scènes de la vie domestique autour du séjour de Wagner.

Judith Gautier (1845-1917) was a French author, poet, and translator, known for her contributions to literature that often explored themes of Eastern culture and aesthetics. She was a prominent figure in the literary circles of her time and was particularly influenced by her interest in Japan and Chinese culture.

Her writings often blend poetic language with rich cultural narratives, making her a unique voice in 19th-century literature.
