One of the first successful novels written by a female author in Romania, Hortensia Papadat-Bengescu’s A Bach Concert remains a classic work of Romanian literature. Originally published in 1927 in Romanian, the novel follows the life of the Hallipa family. The main plot revolves around a Bach concert organized by Elena Hallipa-Draganescu for the elite society of Bucharest. It’s a story of high society intrigue, family tragedy, East European urban life after World War I, and culture. Published for the first time in English, Hortensia Papadat-Bengescu’s realistic novel will delight its readers with stories of this long-forgotten era.
Alianţele, studiul filosofiei şi psihologiei, cunoaşterea intimă a literaturii, muzicii şi artelor plastice de la noi şi de altundeva au completat până la rafinare formaţia Hortensiei Papadat-Bengescu. În alt mod decât compatrioatele Dora D’Istria, Elena Văcărescu, Martha Bibescu, Anna de Noailles. Sensibilă la inovaţii, în ton cu timpul şi cu noile cerinţe, elecţiunea spiritului european, acestea i-au întreţinut vocaţia originară. Cum se spune cu formularea devenită loc comun: un scriitor fără frontiere. Un alt mod de a fi european.
