In the volume (Les Flâneurs Editions, 2024) Tiziano Colombi pays tribute to the great writer Marguerite Yourcenar, exploring her work and life. Through a series of portraits, historical reconstructions and imaginary dialogues, the author takes us inside the mind and soul of one of the most eclectic figures in twentieth-century literature. From Hadrian's Villa to Paris, from her relationship with Grace Frick to the last days of her life, the book is a journey through time, memory and art, in search of the meaning of writing and the essence of a woman known only through her literary works. A book that also invites us to reflect on what it really means to be a writer and how memory can live on in our words.
