En savoir plus sur le livre
Marguerite Yourcenar, born Marguerite de Crayencour in 1903, faced significant loss early in life, losing her mother at birth and her homeland at six. This tumultuous background influenced her writing, which she described as a "passionate reconstitution" of moments from the past. Renowned for works like *Memoirs of Hadrian* and *The Abyss*, she received numerous literary accolades, including her historic election to the Académie Française in 1980 as its first female member. Despite her literary success, Yourcenar's life remained elusive, even in her autobiographical trilogy. This biography delves into her complex life, marked by intertwining themes of loss and learning, and a paradoxical approach to love. Drawing from letters, diaries, and interviews with her friends and lovers, Josyane Savigneau presents an intimate portrait of an artist who lived on her own terms—an ardent Frenchwoman who spent much of her life in New England, a seductress of women who also loved two men, and a powerful female writer whose most memorable characters were male. Savigneau, who first met Yourcenar in 1984, enriches this detailed narrative with personal insights, capturing the multifaceted truth of an incomparable artist, revealing her intelligence, sympathy, and the complexities of her life.
