Orange-red linen boards/Fine. DJ/Fine. FRONTISPIECE: Portrait of Keyserling by Lovis Corinth). In KEYSERLINGS GEHEIMNIS (Keyserling's Secret), Klaus Modick (1951 - ) tells of love & betrayal in the life of colorful poet Eduard von Keyserling (1855 - 1918). Supported w/dazzling figures from Munich's contemporary artist & literary scene of 1900's, this historical novel is vivid portrait of both Munich's bohemia as well as the story of a Baltic count whose life was surrounded by rumors --- a history of art & literature deftly linking facts & fiction around the colorful Estonian Count Eduard von Keyserling, a dandy & recognized poet, and friends with Max Halbe, Lovis Corinth and Frank Wedekind. His "secret" is a scandal, the particulars, not too clear, that forced him to leave his Baltic homeland at age 23. Set in 1901 when Max Halbe gathers an artist clique for a summer at Lake Starnberg, Italy. Keyserling, now 50 years old, sits for a portrait by Lovis Corinth . painted in fascinating ugliness revealing ravages of syphilis, now hanging in Pinakothek, Munich. During sittings, Cornith quizzes his subject but learns nothing. However, during a concert with Frank Wedekind, Keyserling meets a singer who seems oddly familiar --- might she be the woman who embroiled him in the scandal more than 2 decades past and forced him to flee to Vienna and become persona non grata in aristocratic circles? After bestseller "Concerto without a Poet", Klaus Modick has again succeeded in writing an unforgettable artist novel. Ironic, atmospheric, clever and exciting. Fine copy of a very fine novel.
