| Summary | "Wagner at Home" by Judith Gautier is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. The book provides an intimate glimpse into the life and character of the renowned composer Richard Wagner through the eyes of Gautier and her companions as they prepare to meet him in Lucerne. The narrative beautifully captures the fervent excitement and reverence they feel for Wagner, highlighting their deep admiration for his music and artistry. The opening of the work sets the tone for an exhilarating journey as a group of French admirers, filled with impatience and excitement, makes their way to Lucerne to meet Wagner for the first time. Gautier describes the slow train journey that only heightens their anticipation as they reflect on Wagner’s music and his influential role in their lives. The characters express a zealous enthusiasm, intermingled with nerves about how they would be received by the composer, whose genius they venerate. The narrative also hints at personal interactions with Wagner and reveals the close-knit camaraderie among Gautier and her companions as they embark on this artistic pilgrimage.
