Gustav Mahler on his final journey - the moving portrait of an extraordinary artist. Following "The Field" and "A Whole Life," this is the new novel by Robert Seethaler. On the deck of a ship sailing from New York to Europe sits Gustav Mahler. He is famous, the greatest musician in the world, yet his body aches, has always ached. While the cabin boy gently but resolutely attends to him, he reflects on the last years, the summers in the mountains, the death of his daughter Maria, whom he sometimes still thinks he sees. He thinks of Anna, the other daughter, who is currently sitting downstairs at breakfast, and of Alma, the love of his life, who drives him mad and whom he has long since lost. It is his final journey. "The Last Movement" is the poignant portrait of an artist as a weary worker, confronted by the past in the form of crystal-clear moments of beauty and regret.
