Details
Count Harry Graf Kessler (1868-1937) lived a remarkable life. His diaries record the intellectual, historical, and artistic events of the times. He spends time with Auguste Rodin, Vaslav Nijinsky, Sergei Diaghilev. Kessler works on a Nietzsche archive and planned monument, collaborates on The Rosenkavalier, is patron to artists, meets with imprisoned Polish leader Jozef Pilsudski just prior to his release in 1918. This is a remarkable record of La Belle Époque, World War I, and post-war tumult in Germany.
