SAVIGNEAU, JOSYANE

Marguerite Yourcenar: L'Invention D'Une Vie

GALLIMARD, 1993. Pocket Book. ISBN: 2070387380. French. Very Good++ , a sound binding, bright, unmarked pages with an uncreased spine. Light cover edgewear. "Here, in its intricate and often contradictory detail, is Marguerite Yourcenar's story, one in which loss and learning intertwined almost from the first and in which love assumed a strangely paradoxical place. Drawing on letters, diaries, and interviews with Yourcenar's friends, colleagues, and lovers, Josyane Savigneau's biography paints an intimate portrait of an artist who lived according to her own, occasionally contrary, terms: a Frenchwoman ardently in love with her native tongue, yet who lived half her life in New England; an avid seductress of women, who spent nearly forty years with one woman, yet fell in love early and late in her life with two young men; a powerful female writer whose most memorable protagonists were male, from Alexis of her first novel to the later historical characters Hadrian and Zeno. Savigneau weaves these and other contraries of Yourcenar's life into a vibrant and engrossing pattern." ; Folio; Vol. 2495; 6.7 X 4.3 X 1.4 inches; 800 pages. Very Good+ .
