Alma Mahler: or the Art of Being Loved
Alma Mahler: or the Art of Being Loved by Francoise Giroud is a compact 1991 Oxford University Press hardcover that slips easily into a handbag yet carries the full weight of its subject’s remarkable life. Giroud’s brisk biography charts how Alma—muse to composers Mahler, Gropius, and Werfel—turned being loved into an art form of her own.
This 169-page biography arrives protected by its original dust jacket and bears a neat gift inscription on the cover page; two discreet pen marks highlight one passage, leaving the rest of the text unmarked and free of dog ears. Ideal for collectors or readers new to the genre, the book offers a fresh, non-academic window into early 20th-century Vienna and the woman who inspired its greatest talents.
Perfect for young adults and adults alike, this gently used smoke-free copy is ready for immediate enjoyment or gifting. Search terms like “Alma Mahler biography hardcover,” “Francoise Giroud signed,” or “1990s women’s history” will lead you straight to this engaging portrait of a life lived at the center of music, art, and passion.
