Catherine Pozzi Books

    July 13, 1882 – December 3, 1934

    Catherine Pozzi, born into an aristocratic milieu, showed an early aptitude for music and journal writing. Influenced by her artist and writer friends, and profoundly affected by the published diary of Marie Bashkirtseff, she began to write with intensity. Despite chronic health issues, she pursued studies in history, philosophy, and science. Her life was marked by a passionate relationship and subsequent isolation, which deeply informed her introspective and philosophical writings.

      „Im Juni 1920 lernt Catherine Pozzi Paul Valéry kennen. Er ist seit zwanzig Jahren verheiratet und hat drei Kinder. Es beginnen acht Jahre einer notgedrungen heimlichen, aber jeden Tag erneuerten und wieder in Frage gestellten Beziehung; acht Jahre der abgenötigten und unhaltbaren Versprechen; Pozzi und Valéry erleiden »den Tod und die Leidenschaft« ihrer Liebe; aber auch acht Jahre der gemeinsamen Arbeit, Lektüre und Forschung; acht Jahre eines intellektuellen und philosophischen Zwiegesprächs unter Gleichen.“

      First published in 1927, this legendary French novel intensely recounts a story of both love and heartbreak between the heroine and her beloved. A famous poet whose presence in her life she had intuited since childhood, and with God, who had long seemed to her the substitute—or the antecedent—for this future romantic love.
